2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AV12 VVM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, reflecting a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 07 March 2026 at 95,610 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 95,608 miles. This sequence suggests a minor, rectifyable issue, such as a bulb replacement or a minor adjustment, which was addressed immediately to ensure the car met legal standards for testing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 82,259 miles and April 2025 at 89,572 miles, the car covered 7,313 miles, showing regular usage. The interval of 6,038 miles covered since then until the March 2026 test indicates the vehicle remains in active use which is generally preferable for mechanical seals and rubber components compared to sitting stationary for long periods. While the record shows no major structural failures or recurring mechanical defects, a buyer should still inspect common wear areas for a Clio of this age. Given the mileage, the inspection should focus on suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of per or tearing. Although the MOT history does not flag brake issues, a physical check of the discs for thinness and caliper condition is advisable to ensure the components are not nearing the end of their functional life despite the clean MOT results.
