2012 Renault Clio 2.0L Petrol · CL10 LCR

The vehicle presents a highly positive roadworthiness profile with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 May 2026 at 49,948 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that recent mechanical upkeep is well-managed. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 3,568 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between August 2021 and August 2022, during which the vehicle covered only 1,225 miles. Since then, usage has increased to a more consistent rate of roughly 4,000 miles per annum. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber-part degradation and brake corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension-related rubber components. The August 2022 test at 37,618 miles flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs, and while these were replaced or serviced subsequently, the buyer should verify the current condition for any recurring or thinning material. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the control arm bushes, tyres, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or perished rubber, which often occurs through age rather than distance travelled.
