2006 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · BV06 UZY

The 2025‑04‑04 MOT at 80,109 miles passed with no defects, confirming present roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record, since the 2024‑02‑13 test at 78,843 miles and the 2024‑02‑07 test at 78,818 miles likewise recorded no faults, and earlier tests from 2023 and 2022 were similarly clean. The vehicle’s recorded mileage has risen from 73,305 miles in February 2022 to 80,109 miles in April 2025, an increase of 6,804 miles over roughly three years, averaging about 2,268 miles per year, which is modest for a 20‑year‑old car and suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity; the interval between the January 2023 and February 2024 tests spans 13 months and covers 3,202 miles, while the short six‑day gap between the February 2024 failure and pass entries reflects minimal usage during that period. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the exhaust system and chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and the subframe, as these components are prone to deterioration even when mileage is low. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the MOT history, but the low mileage for its age warrants a close visual assessment of tyre condition, wiper blade integrity, and any signs of deferred maintenance, ensuring that the vehicle’s overall condition matches the clean test record.
