2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CU14 LPE

The 2014 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 94,550 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from October 2022 through October 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 9 October 2023 at 82,954 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against that failure, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day under identical mileage. Annual mileage averages 7,879 across the recorded life, consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old car. The odometer moved from 76,938 miles at the 10 October 2022 test to 82,954 miles by 9 October 2023, then 90,962 miles by 7 October 2024, and 94,550 miles by 2 October 2025. The yearly increments of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles show no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean sheet across five tests means the record offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. Given the absence of any advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, the history implies the previous keepers maintained the car to test standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe and sills for structural rust, check the front suspension bushes and rear brake calipers for binding, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the car from wear on a 94,550-mile drivetrain. The duplicate 9 October 2023 entries warrant a glance at the V5C and any garage paperwork to confirm the failure was clerical. Otherwise the Clio's documented history supports a sound used purchase for the mileage, provided the in-person checks above confirm the tester findings.
