2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · CV60 UBM

The 2010 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 50,347 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. No recurring advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening cycle of wear or deferred repair. Recorded mileage sits at 50,347 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,147 miles per year. The tester logged 43,156 miles on 16 September 2022, then 46,705 on 1 September 2023, 48,806 on 29 August 2024, and 50,347 in August 2025. Annual accumulation stays between 1,500 and 2,100 miles throughout. Such low use implies light running but also raises the prospect of long stationary periods, which can age rubber components and encourage corrosion unseen in the test lane. A notable anomaly occurs on 27 August 2024 when the car failed at 48,806 miles, yet the record lists no defects, and it passed two days later on 29 August 2024 at identical mileage. This points to an administrative or presentation fault at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The buyer should still confirm the V5C and DVSA gateway entry to rule out a suppressed failure reason. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity across the history, the Clio needs only standard pre-purchase checks. Inspect underbody and sills for rust from damp standing, verify tyre sidewall condition given low rotation, and confirm the brake calipers are free given minimal annual use. The clean MOT stream suggests conscientious if infrequent upkeep by prior keepers.
