2002 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CX52 BAV

The 2002 Renault Clio presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 13 June 2023 at 116,847 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 18 June 2022 at 115,315 miles confirms the vehicle cleared its annual examination without advisories. The only blemish is a failed attempt on 14 June 2022 at the same 115,315 miles, where the tester logged no defects; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the owner securing a pass four days later. Mileage data shows light use for a 24-year-old car. The record moves from 115,315 miles in June 2022 to 116,847 miles in June 2023, a gain of just 1,532 miles over twelve months and an average of roughly 4,869 miles per year across its life. Such low accumulation implies either gentle commuting or extended periods off the road, though the sparse history leaves two decades unaccounted for. The identical 115,315-mile figure on both June 2022 entries confirms the car was not driven between the failed and passed tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items the MOT record cannot capture. Long standing periods risk perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and structural corrosion to sills or subframes despite the clean passes. The Renault Clio of this era is prone to rear axle rust and degraded coil springs, so these demand close scrutiny. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the two valid tests, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper. Verify the 2024 and 2025 certificates are simply missing from this extract or the car has been SORN since June 2023, as no test appears within the three years preceding today's date of 8 July 2026.
