2006 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CV06 NKM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-11-02 at 113,748 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2022-10-28 at 113,746 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technical issue unresolved. The 2021-11-01 test at 109,164 miles also passed without defects, confirming a consistent absence of critical faults over the past 18 months. No recurring mechanical or structural issues were flagged, implying the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 113,748 miles over 20 years equates to approximately 5,687 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for vehicles of this age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may lead to dry rot, corrosion, or component stiffness. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with the most recent assessment just over three years ago. However, the sparse data—only three tests in 18 months—limits insight into long-term wear patterns, particularly for consumables like tyres or brake components. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil springs, common in low-mileage vehicles. Check for corrosion in the exhaust system, as stagnant operation may accelerate rust. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper movement, as prolonged inactivity can cause sticking. The absence of structural or emissions-related advisories is positive, but the lack of recent MOT data beyond 2022 warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing compliance and identify any hidden deterioration.
