2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AT57 KFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 102,672 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the defects recorded in previous years appear to have been addressed. While the historical data reveals a history of recurring suspension and lighting issues, the lack of advisories on the latest certificate suggests that the current owner is proactive in resolving mechanical faults before they escalate into test failures. At 18 years old, the recorded 102,672 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data indicates consistent usage over recent years, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low-mileage profile often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion due to age and exposure, which is consistent with the ball joint and spring failures seen in the record. An in-person inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as this area shows a recurring pattern of wear. The tester flagged track rod ends with excessive play in 2023 and slight play in 2024, alongside a suspension arm ball joint issue in 2022. A buyer must verify that these components have been replaced and check for any new movement or uneven tyre wear. The offside rear coil spring failed in 2023; additionally, the 2024 report of pitted and scored brake discs indicates the vehicle may have sat for periods or experienced harsh conditions, necessitating a check of the current disc surface condition to ensure they are not thinning or heavily corroded.
