2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CP12 MAZ

The 2012 Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 with 48,220 miles and no defects recorded. This is the fifth consecutive MOT pass since 2021, all with zero advisories or failures—indicating a consistently stable condition over time. The mileage of 48,220 miles across 14 years averages just 3,444 miles annually, which is unusually low. This suggests either very light use, long periods of inactivity, or both. Low mileage alone doesn’t guarantee mechanical health—infrequent use can lead to issues like seized components, dried seals, or battery degradation if the car sat idle for extended stretches. No recurring defects or advisories appear in the history, so there’s no evidence of worsening wear on critical items (e.g., brakes, suspension, exhaust, or emissions). The absence of any MOT failures or warnings over five years is reassuring. However, the lack of recorded defects doesn’t eliminate risk—it simply means no issues were flagged at test time. Consumables like brake pads, suspension bushes, or drive belts may still be nearing end-of-life despite low mileage, especially if the vehicle was rarely driven. The most important checks for a buyer: - Inspect suspension components for dry-rot or stiffness (especially bushes and dampers).
