2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CU14 LNP

The 2014 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 July 2024 at 20,054 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 9 June 2023 at 19,929 miles and 26 May 2022 at 19,096 miles both passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or progressive deterioration across the four-year record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a twelve-year-old car. The odometer moved only 958 miles between May 2022 and June 2023, then just 125 miles to July 2024, leaving the total at 20,054 miles or roughly 1,671 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests long stationary periods. Standing time risks perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers even where the MOT shows no faults. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking from inactivity, and confirm the brake discs are free of corrosion and the calipers are not binding after the long lay-up. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity carried no advisories, but a twelve-year-old hatchback of this mileage warrants an underbody check for early corrosion. Given the clean test history and minimal wear, the Clio reads as a low-stress example. Inspect for moisture in the brake fluid and perishing of consumables such as wiper blades and tyres before relying on it for regular use.
