2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DA05 UCT

The Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 19 August 2021 at 125,408 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT since, leaving a gap of nearly five years to the current date of 8 July 2026, so its present roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the record alone. The recorded mileage shows an unusually low average of roughly 5,972 miles per year for a 21-year-old car. Between the failed test on 12 August 2021 at 125,386 miles and the pass one week later at 125,408 miles, the vehicle covered only 22 miles. This near-static mileage across the final recorded entries suggests the car saw very light use or stood idle for long periods before its last test. The sparse history shows just two 2021 entries and no advisories, so no wear trends or consumable replacements are documented. A buyer must treat the five-year test gap as the primary concern. Long stationary periods on a 2005 Clio commonly cause perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs. The tester raised no structural or mechanical faults in August 2021, but that clean sheet is now stale. Prior to purchase, a physical inspection should check for subframe corrosion, degraded rubber components, and binding handbrake mechanisms. The repeated 2021 tests with no listed defects imply the prior owner resolved whatever caused the 12 August failure off-record, yet the absence of subsequent MOT data means the buyer carries all risk for undocumented deterioration since mid-2021.
