2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DA12 OLJ

The Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 75,899 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it currently holds a clean roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual passes showing no advisories or recorded faults. The vehicle's test history reveals a consistent pattern of a failed test immediately followed by a pass two to three days later, with no defects logged on either attempt, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 75,899 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 5,421 miles per year. The February 2024 test at 52,960 miles, February 2025 at 64,009, and February 2026 at 75,899 show steady annual accumulation of around 11,000 to 12,000 miles, despite the low lifetime average. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data. The DVSA record is sparse, with no advisories across any entry, so no wear trends on consumables or structure are documented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as a clean MOT does not certify component condition below test thresholds. The repeated same-week fail-then-pass cycles in February 2025 and February 2026, with zero defects noted, warrant checking with the seller which garage conducted the tests and why the initial attempt failed. Low recorded mileage for age can mask perished rubber or seized calipers from infrequent use, so a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewalls and brake binding remains prudent.
