2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · AY19 UHB

The Clio holds a valid MOT pass from 7 August 2025 at 63,377 miles, but that certificate expired a year ago leaving the car without current roadworthiness certification. The history shows a repeated fail-then-pass pattern: a failure on 28 July 2025 cleared by retest nine days later, and an identical same-day fail-pass sequence on 10 February 2025. No defect details are recorded for any entry, which limits diagnostic value but the recurrence suggests persistent items needing attention before each test. Annual mileage averages roughly 9,000 miles, consistent with typical private use for a 2019 model. The record only begins at the February 2024 test, leaving the first three MOT cycles unaccounted for in this dataset. No mileage anomalies appear between the 2024 and 2025 tests, though the absence of earlier data means early-life wear patterns on suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust components remain unverified. A buyer should treat the fail-retest cycles as indicators that consumable or adjustment items — likely tyres, brake balance, lighting or emissions — have required last-minute rectification. Without defect codes, prioritise a thorough underbonnet and underside inspection: check for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, suspension play in bushes and ball joints, exhaust integrity, and any structural corrosion on sills or subframe mounts. The expired MOT means a fresh test is mandatory before legal road use, and the pattern suggests budgeting for remedial work to secure a clean pass.
