2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CV12 RMZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 November 2025 at 75,390 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean sheet across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during the recorded period. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,385 miles per year. Between December 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 20,008 miles, showing a consistent and predictable usage pattern. The jump of 7,181 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests represents a slight increase in usage compared to previous years but the overall progression suggests the car has not sat for extended periods which can often lead to perishisation of rubber components or brake-related corrosion. Despite the pristine MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear rather than mileage-related fatigue. Focus on the suspension components, specifically the control arm bushes for any cracking or tearing, and the coil springs for signs of surface rust. Given the low annual mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or scoring, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently enough to clear the rotors. Checking the integrity of the chassis underside is also essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental corrosion.
