2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CV58 KBP

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 April 2025 at 101,831 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in June 2024 and July 2023 also achieved passes. The only blemishes are two failed tests on 12 June 2024 at 92,840 miles and 13 July 2023 at 87,499 miles, both of which recorded no defects and were immediately cleared on re-test two days later. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. At roughly 18 years old the car shows 101,831 miles, an average of about 5,657 miles per year. The record confirms light use: it covered only 5,371 miles between the July 2023 test and June 2024 test, then 8,961 miles to April 2025. Low annual mileage like this often means longer standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even when the MOT stays clean. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests, so the DVSA record gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Standing time at low mileage accelerates underbody rust and degrades tyres, wiper blades, and flexible brake hoses without triggering MOT flags. The repeated no-defect failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest the previous owner attended to statutory testing promptly but the history offers no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond the minimum. Treat the clean sheet as a baseline, not a guarantee, and verify real-world condition before purchase.
