2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CK57 ACF

The 2007 Renault Clio’s most recent MOT on 2024-03-20 recorded a pass at 74,358 miles, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the records, though the absence of specific faults in the passed test suggests no critical issues at that time. The prior MOTs from 2023 and 2022, all with no defects, indicate a stable maintenance trend up to 2024. However, the two-year gap since the last test and the duplicate entry on 2024-03-20 complicate assessing current roadworthiness. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,358 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 3,914 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage may suggest infrequent operation or prolonged storage, increasing risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, and component stiffness. Notably, the mileage rose from 63,817 miles in 2022 to 74,358 miles by 2024—a 10,541-mile increase over two years—implying recent more active use. However, the lack of detailed defect reports in earlier tests limits insight into wear patterns beyond basic compliance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age and low mileage, which can lead to premature wear from inactivity. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential corrosion from stagnant operation. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, should also be checked for rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from environmental exposure. The absence of recent MOT data post-2024 further underscores the need for a professional mechanical assessment before purchase.
