2012 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AF62 OSU

The 2012 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 77,701 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage stands at 77,701 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 5,550 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 62,906 miles on 23 September 2022, 67,270 on 9 September 2023, 72,291 on 4 September 2024, and 77,701 on 19 September 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a duplicate entry on 23 September 2022 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage and with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. Low annual mileage and possible periods of standing can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake lines even when testers record no advisories. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for age-related degradation. The absence of recorded advisories across four years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the 2022 duplicate failure/pass without noted defects leaves minor uncertainty over that day's examination. Given the car's age, verify underside condition and tyre sidewall health before purchase.
