2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CK59 XTH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT test recently. The most recent inspection on 3 April 2026 at 107,094 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early April 2025 at 101,191 miles, the subsequent pass six days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-utilization vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 15,513 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than long periods of stagnation. This low mileage often reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components, hoses, and spark plugs which perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for a seventeen-year-old Renault. The buyer should check the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, where rust often begins undetected on this model. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these frequently fail before triggering an MOT advisory. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable to ensure the clean record reflects the actual mechanical condition.
