2006 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CT55 NLO

The Renault Clio shows a contradictory roadworthiness picture at its most recent recorded test. On 10 September 2021 at 99,032 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, yet on the very same date and mileage it also failed with no defects listed. This duplicate entry points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a clear mechanical verdict, and the maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from a single ambiguous day of testing. The recorded mileage stands at 99,032 miles against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 4,952 miles per year. That is low for a twenty-year-old car and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The MOT history shows no entries beyond September 2021, leaving a near five-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026. Such a sparse record with identical pass and fail lines offers no evidence of recurring faults, rapid accumulation, or progressive wear tracking. A buyer should treat the 2021 anomaly as a red flag for documentation accuracy and seek the original DVSA test certificate or garage records to confirm the true status. Given the low mileage and age, priority checks should cover structural corrosion on sills and subframes, degraded suspension bushes, and brake caliper seizure from standing. Tyres and exhaust emissions may have aged beyond service life despite low use. Without a valid test since 2021 the car is long overdue an MOT and cannot be assumed roadworthy. An independent inspection of chassis integrity, fluid condition, and brake function is essential before any purchase commitment.
