2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CP55 YLA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 November 2025 with 104,954 miles. Despite a technical failure just eight days prior to that date at the same mileage, the subsequent pass suggests any identified defect was immediately rectified or the initial failure was a minor testing anomaly. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained compliant over the last three years. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 104,954 miles represents an annual average of approximately 5,000 miles. This low-usage pattern suggests short trips, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows consistent usage between the August 2022 test at 84,428 miles and the 2024 test at 96,995 miles, indicating a steady rate of operation. While low mileage reduces mechanical friction, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components, brake seals, and tyre rubber if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system, as older Renault Clio models are prone to corrosion in the sills and wing arches. Although the MOT history shows no recorded advisories, a manual check for perished suspension bushes or leaking shock absorbers is necessary given the age of the vehicle. Examine the brake system for any fluid leaks or rust accumulation on the discs to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related seizing of the braking hardware.
