2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BV10 APX

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 21 November 2025 at 59,344 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 20 November 2025 at the same mileage, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either the failure or the pass. That sequence suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, since the car cleared with no advisories the next day. Annual mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 3,709 miles per year against the 59,344 miles recorded. The records show 37,986 miles on 5 September 2023, rising to 47,208 by 3 September 2024 and 48,626 on 23 December 2024, then a jump of 10,718 miles to the November 2025 figure. The gap between December 2024 and November 2025 accounts for nearly all the recent accumulation, implying the car stood little used for years then covered distance in the last twelve months. No MOT data exists before September 2023, so early-life care remains undocumented. No advisories or defects appear across any test, so the history gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still inspect the Clio in person for underbody rust, coil spring condition, and brake disc wear, as a 16-year-old car can hide such issues between tests. The same-day fail-pass with zero defects warrants a check of the V5C and test centre notes to confirm no omitted fault. Low standing mileage followed by recent use can stiffen calipers or flat-spot tyres, so verify the rubber and binding at the hubs. The clean record supports a sound purchase if the physical inspection matches the paper trail.
