2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BF62 CLY

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 55,626 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 30 August 2024 at 49,096 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits low for a 2012 registration. The car covered just 6,425 miles between the August 2022 test at 35,089 miles and the August 2023 test at 41,671 miles, then 7,425 miles to August 2024 at 49,096 miles, and 6,530 miles to the 2025 test. That averages roughly 3,973 miles per year. The single anomaly is the 23 August 2024 failure at 49,095 miles, logged one week before the pass at 49,096 miles with no defects cited. This suggests an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, though the buyer should confirm the reason with the DVSA. The sparse record gives little to flag on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. No tester noted binding calipers, exhaust emissions breaches, or coil spring fatigue at any stage. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous keeper addressed consumables before each examination. Given the low use and clean history, a buyer should still verify in person for standing-related issues. Check underside for corrosion and inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from prolonged storage. Confirm the brake calipers are free and the suspension rubbers are not perished. The 2024 failure with no defect recorded warrants a check of the DVLA refusal notice to rule out a documentation error.
