2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CV07 NKA

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2007 Renault Clio presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 25 February 2023 at 82,579 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is consistent with the broader pattern across the documented history, which shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The vehicle has not been presented for a valid MOT since that February 2023 pass, meaning the current certificate expired in February 2026. A fresh test will be required before any legal road use. The mileage pattern tells a story of very light use followed by a period of apparent dormancy. Between the January 2021 test at 64,099 miles and the January 2022 test at 72,431 miles, the car covered 8,332 miles in twelve months, a modest but active pace. Yet from 1 January 2022 through both the failed and passed tests on 24 and 25 February 2023, the odometer remained frozen at exactly 82,579 miles. That is over fourteen months with no recorded movement. Such a gap raises the possibility of extended storage, which carries its own risks despite the low overall mileage of roughly 4,346 miles per year across the vehicle's nineteen-year life. A buyer should approach this Clio with cautious optimism rather than blind confidence. The absence of flagged defects in the MOT record is encouraging, but the long stationary period demands a focused physical inspection. Tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion and seizure, common after prolonged parking. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers need close scrutiny for perishing and leaks. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and box sections. A test drive at varying speeds will reveal any binding brakes, tracking issues, or drivetrain vibrations that a stationary inspection cannot detect.
