2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AX67 HBU

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 July 2025 at 52,167 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 23 July 2021 test at 44,581 miles to the 21 July 2025 test at 52,167 miles, the car covered just 7,586 miles over four years, averaging under 1,900 miles annually. Each annual test aligns closely with the previous July date and shows modest increments of roughly 1,500 to 2,000 miles, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA record itself is sparse, listing only passes and no advisories, which limits insight into wear patterns but indicates no formal flags against the vehicle. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT history does not capture gradual consumable degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking, wiper blade condition, or brake disc lip wear that testers may omit under pass criteria. Low annual mileage combined with the vehicle's age raises the prospect of prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate suspension bush perishing, caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion despite absent advisories. Given the Renault's Clio platform and the recorded low usage, particular attention should fall on the front coil springs, track rod ends, and exhaust hangers for age-related fatigue rather than mileage wear. The absence of recorded defects suggests prior owners maintained statutory compliance, though it provides no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the minimum test standard.
