2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · BV10 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 7 October 2025 at 96,631 miles with no recorded defects. This clean pass indicates a stable mechanical condition, as the car has cleared its last three annual inspections without any advisories or failures. The absence of recurring mechanical faults suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent maintenance or that previous owner intervention has successfully addressed potential issues before the formal testing dates. The recorded mileage of 96,631 miles over a sixteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A notable spike in mileage occurred between the October 2024 test and the October 2025 test, where the odometer increased by over 16,000 miles in twelve months. This represents a significant departure from the car's historical usage pattern, which previously saw minimal annual accumulation. Prospective buyers should verify if this recent increase was primarily motorway-based, as high-mileage cycles can accelerate wear on drivetrain components and cooling systems. While the MOT history is clean, the rapid accumulation of miles in the final year necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items. Focus your assessment on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often show signs of fatigue after 90,000 miles. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the recent spike in mileage may have introduced new stresses to the braking system that were not present during the vehicle's period of lighter use. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leaks or perished rubber hoses, which are common at this age regardless of a clean MOT pass.
