2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CP09 ODY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 30 May 2025 at 67,307 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just two days prior at 67,305 miles. This suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial consumable issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has maintained a clean pass record across the last three successful inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 4,355 miles, while the interval between June 2024 and May 2025 saw a slight increase to 8,750 miles. This low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidification, and light corrosion on brake discs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-related wear. Given the age of the Clio, check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as moisture often traps in these areas despite use. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished rubber, as low-frequency use does not prevent material fatigue. While the record shows no recent binding calipers or failures, verify that the brake pipes are not corroded and the tyres show no signs of flat spotting from the low mileage profile.
