2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AV12 AAO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 93,640 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing the MOT without technical failures or warnings over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a satisfactory legal standard. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 6,689 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between May 2024 and May 2025, where the odometer rose from 82,322 to 93,640 miles. This jump of over 11,000 miles in a single year is higher than the previous interval of 7,377 miles seen between May 2023 and May 2024, but it remains within a normal operating range for a daily driver. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While this suggests a well-kept vehicle, the lack of any advisories for consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a fourteen-year-old car. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for structural corrosion and check the service history for evidence of preventative maintenance. Focus the physical inspection on rubber components and fluid leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, check the condition of the coil springs and mountings, as these often perish without being flagged on a basic MOT if they are not yet failing. Verify that the oil and coolant are clean to ensure the engine has been serviced regularly despite the absence of MOT-related faults.
