2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CW05 OEU

The 2005 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 68,167 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 21-year-old vehicle. Between the 12 April 2022 test at 66,375 miles and the 28 April 2025 test at 68,167 miles, the car covered just 1,792 miles across three years, averaging under 600 miles per year. The record shows no gaps in testing and no rapid accumulation phases, though such low use often means long standing periods that can age rubber components and encourage corrosion despite the clean sheets. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items can degrade through inactivity rather than wear and may not surface in a pass result. The absence of advisories across all four tests suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables in order, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Given the sparse history shows no recurring faults, focus the viewing on underside structural integrity and exhaust condition for hidden rust. Low mileage alone does not guarantee mechanical freshness on a two-decade-old hatchback.
