2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CY18 KWM

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 1 October 2025 at 66,214 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the vehicle carries a valid certificate roughly nine months before today's date. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 26 September 2025 at 66,213 miles, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging about 8,277 miles per year. The records show 43,812 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 55,869 miles by September 2024 and 66,214 miles by October 2025. This equates to roughly 12,000 miles covered in the past year, a modest increase over the longer-term average but not indicative of harsh use. The sparse advisory history across all entries suggests light reporting rather than confirmed absence of wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the lack of recorded advisories leaves those components unverified. The two failure entries with no defects logged warrant scrutiny of the test centre paperwork to confirm no outstanding rectification work was required. Corrosion on structural members and exhaust emissions should be checked at the next service given the vehicle's age. The clean recent pass and stable mileage imply reasonable upkeep by previous keepers, though the unexplained September 2025 failure shows the record is not wholly straightforward. Treat the absence of advisories as a reporting gap, not proof of component condition.
