2004 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BW04 BAW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The last recorded test conducted on March 24, 2023 at 105,631 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met the minimum legal standards at that time. The history shows a pattern of immediate failure and pass in both 2022 and 2023, suggesting that minor issues were identified and rectified quickly prior to the re-tests. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,631 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2021 and 2023, with the vehicle covering roughly 8,000 miles in that two-year period. However, there is a significant gap of three years since the last recorded MOT in March 2023, meaning the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and potentially compromised. Low mileage vehicles of this age often suffer to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage cars often mask hidden corrosion in the sills and wing arches. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, which occur regardless of low mileage. Given the lapse in the testing history, a thorough check of the brake system for seized calipers or perished hoses is essential, as stationary vehicles are prone to internal rust and hydraulic failure.
