2012 Renault Clio 2.0L Petrol · AY61 WVV

The Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent test. The July 2022 examination at 87,106 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the vehicle has not been tested since. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the supplied history, though the absence of entries after mid-2022 leaves the current condition unverified by DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 87,106 at the July 2022 test equates to roughly 6,222 miles per year against the car's 2012 build date, a figure consistent with typical private use for this age of vehicle. The record shows only two July 2022 entries four days apart: a fail at 87,105 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass at 87,106 miles. Such a sequence suggests an administrative or documentation anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, and the sparse history gives little insight into longer-term wear patterns beyond confirming light annual use. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the fourteen-year age and the four-year gap since the last test. The clean advisory list in July 2022 does not rule out corrosion developing on structural members or the exhaust system during standing periods since the vehicle was last examined. Given the Renault's low yearly mileage and the unexplained fail-pass pair in late July 2022, previous ownership appears to reflect infrequent but adequate statutory testing rather than active mechanical neglect. An independent inspection remains essential before purchase due to the elapsed time and missing recent MOT coverage.
