2008 Renault Clio 1.5L Petrol · AM08 NJY

The MOT history for this vehicle shows an inconsistent roadworthiness trend, characterized by two consecutive failures in April 2022. The record lacks any testing data from May 2022 through to the current date of August 2026, meaning the most recent test results are four years old. This significant gap in documentation prevents a current assessment of the vehicle's mechanical status or whether previous issues were resolved. The recorded mileage of 137,152 miles averages approximately 7,620 miles per year over the 18-year lifespan of the vehicle. While this represents typical usage for a car of this age, the absence of recent mileage data makes it impossible to determine if the vehicle is currently being driven regularly or has been stationary for an extended period. Stationary vehicles often face issues with seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and fuel system degradation. The April 2022 tests failed twice within a twelve-day period, though the records do not specify the exact mechanical defects that caused these failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the cause of these previous failures, specifically checking for structural corrosion, suspension component wear, and brake system integrity. Because the specific faults were not documented in the digital record, a manual check of the chassis for rust and the underside for leaks or worn bushes is necessary to establish current condition. Given the lack of recent MOT data, a primary requirement for any potential buyer is to verify the vehicle's current MOT status and ensure a valid certificate is in place. The history provides no evidence of recent maintenance or compliance with current emissions and safety standards. Focus should be placed on the braking system, tyre condition, and steering geometry to compensate for the lack of recent official testing data.
