2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CK59 XTP

The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-10 confirms this Renault Clio remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 50,646 miles. The consistent pass history over the past four years—including two tests in 2023 at identical mileages—suggests either a flaw in the original record or a vehicle that has been maintained diligently enough to avoid test failures. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or advisories that would indicate worsening conditions. The lack of defects across multiple tests implies the vehicle has not experienced significant wear on critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common failure points in this model age. The recorded mileage of 50,646 miles over nearly 17 years equates to approximately 2,979 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests either limited use or prolonged periods of storage, which could mitigate some wear but may also indicate neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes or minor servicing. Notably, there is a gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests where two MOT entries appear on the same date—one pass and one fail—both at 44,312 miles, which is unusual and may warrant clarification. Beyond that, the steady mileage increments between tests (around 2,500–3,000 miles per year) suggest no abrupt changes in usage that would raise immediate concerns. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked during an MOT. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to degradation over time. Check for corrosion on wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as this model is susceptible to rust in those areas. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, even though the MOT did not flag any issues. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, as this is another common failure point in older Renaults. The absence of advisories in the record does not guarantee these components are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
