2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CX59 FZP

The 2009 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 22,416 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations show the same clean result. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or deteriorating condition. Mileage remains exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old car. The record shows 20,782 miles at the 27 January 2023 test, rising only to 20,818 miles by 12 February 2024, then 20,896 miles at the failed 13 March 2025 attempt, 20,906 miles three days later on the pass, and 22,416 miles by April 2026. That equates to roughly 1,300 miles per year. The sparse, clean ledger gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though the 13 March 2025 failure with no defects logged points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than wear. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as long periods of standing invite moisture-related structural degradation not always visible in a pass result. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding after storage, despite no tester flags. The absence of recorded advisories means consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were within limits, yet rubber components age with time regardless of mileage. Given the clean MOT sequence and minimal use, the Clio suggests a lightly driven, reasonably kept example. Verify underside condition and brake freedom in person before purchase, since the official record alone cannot confirm the state of hidden mechanical items on a low-mileage veteran.
