2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CE11 VSL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 62,925 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior for critical issues including a fractured front coil spring and an illegal offside rear tyre. The trend for mechanical repairs is inconsistent, as the owner appears to only address faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,925 miles represents an average of approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber and plastics, which is evidenced by the 2024 advisory regarding a perishing offside rear tyre. The mileage accumulation between November 2023 and November 2024 was only 2,600 miles, suggesting the car sees infrequent use. This low mileage does not protect the vehicle from the structural corrosion issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front radiator carrier, which has been flagged for corrosion and insecure mounting since at least November 2023. This persistent structural issue is a significant red flag as it affects the integrity of the cooling system support. The suspension should also be scrutinized for signs of wear, as the previous fracture of the coil spring in 2025 and the distorted offside wheel in 2024 indicate potential impacts or stress on the front-end components. Ensure the radiator carrier has been properly secured and is not merely patched to pass the test.
