2017 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · CL10 ACB

The 2017 Renault Clio demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-11-29 at 41,939 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the vehicle’s low annual mileage of approximately 4,660 miles. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting consistent maintenance and minimal mechanical stress. The absence of critical failures in brakes, suspension, or structural integrity indicates the car has been well cared for, though low usage may mask wear in components not regularly exercised. The mileage progression reveals a pattern of infrequent use, with significant gaps between tests. From 2022-08-31 (31,800 miles) to 2023-08-30 (34,368 miles), the car gained just 2,568 miles annually, then 2,416 miles between 2023 and 2024. A sharp increase of 4,926 miles occurred between 2024-12-11 (37,013 miles) and 2025-11-29 (41,939 miles), suggesting recent higher usage. This irregularity could indicate periods of storage or seasonal use, which might affect components like the battery, tyres, or engine seals. The sparse data lacks details on minor wear, such as brake pad thickness or suspension bushing condition, which could require further inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can lead to stiffness in these parts. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance should also be assessed, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate rust in underbody components. While no advisories were recorded, the lack of detailed mechanical data means visual and functional checks are essential. The car’s MOT history confirms it meets legal standards, but its maintenance profile suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase evaluation to confirm long-term reliability.
