2012 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · CE12 FWF

The most recent MOT entry for the 2012 Renault Clio, dated 2025-08-11, shows a failure due to the offside stop lamp not working . This is a safety-critical issue affecting braking visibility, which must be repaired before the vehicle can be legally driven. However, the same date also lists a pass entry, which may indicate a retest or conflicting data. The vehicle’s 82,809-mile record suggests it is 14 years old, with an average of 5,915 miles annually—low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, electrical systems, and fluids. The MOT history reveals a mixed pattern of issues . The 2024-08-20 test identified multiple minor defects, including worn front tyres , cracking rear tyres , a slight oil leak , and brake disc wear . These suggest gradual deterioration in tyres, sealing, and braking components. The 2022-08-22 test noted thin rear brake pads , which were likely addressed by 2024. However, the 2025-08-11 failure highlights a recurring electrical issue (stop lamp) and the 2024 oil leak indicates ongoing maintenance needs.
