2005 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · AP05 NPF

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 1 September 2025 at 123,038 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, though the vehicle failed twice on administrative or unrecorded grounds within days of subsequent passes, specifically on 29 August 2025 at 122,959 miles and on 19 September 2024 at 116,666 miles, both with no defects logged. Such back-to-back fail-and-pass entries suggest clerical rejection rather than mechanical fault, but the pattern warrants confirmation of proper documentation from the seller. At roughly 21 years old, the car shows 123,038 miles, equating to about 5,859 miles per year, which is low for its age and implies light use or extended periods off the road. The odometer moved from 106,990 miles at the January 2023 test to 116,666 by September 2024, then to 122,959 by August 2025, reflecting steady annual accumulation near 6,000 miles with no abrupt spikes. The sparse record, containing only five entries across three years, limits insight into earlier upkeep, though the absence of advisories on passes indicates no flagged wear at those points. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation given the low yearly use that can conceal corrosion during standing periods. The twin failures with no defects recorded demand scrutiny of the V5C and MOT certificates to rule out repeated roadworthiness disputes or tester errors. Verify exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath, as a 2005 shell may show rust unseen in clean test logs.
