2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BF09 EDK

This Renault Clio’s most recent MOT test occurred over three years ago on 2023-05-04, with a subsequent retest on the same day—both at 119,637 miles—resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The preceding test in 2022-04-29 at 105,864 miles also passed without issues, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the observed period. However, the lack of subsequent testing means the vehicle’s current condition cannot be confirmed beyond the 2023 pass. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in the available record suggests no obvious recurring mechanical issues were detected by the tester at those points, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 119,637 miles over approximately 17 years aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes in the available data, though the absence of tests between 2023 and 2026 means the vehicle’s condition since then remains unverified. The lack of intermediate mileage readings also prevents confirmation of whether maintenance was consistently applied during this period. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in a vehicle of this age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has experienced hard braking or uneven wear. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be examined for corrosion or damage, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements over time. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, which could affect both performance and legal compliance.
