2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · DA67 XVW

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 60,998 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Two days earlier, on 8 September 2025 at 60,997 miles, the vehicle failed the MOT despite the tester logging no defects; this points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate clean pass confirms the car was not carrying unresolved advisories or failures into the current ownership period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 7,625 miles per year against the 60,998 miles recorded. The records show steady annual use: 26,963 miles on 13 July 2022, 38,826 miles on 13 July 2023, 50,802 miles on 12 July 2024, and 60,998 miles on 10 September 2025. No abrupt accumulation or long dormant gaps appear. The clean pass sheets across every annual test indicate the previous keeper kept on top of consumable wear and avoided letting minor items escalate into recorded advisories. With no advisories or defects logged at any point from 2022 through 2025, the MOT history gives no signal of recurring suspension bush wear, corroding brake lines, exhaust deterioration, or structural integrity loss. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe mounting points, and brake disc faces, as the DVSA test regime only captures faults present on the day. The unexplained fail on 8 September 2025 warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm it was a paperwork rejection and not a suppressed defect. Given the low defect count and consistent mileage, this Clio reflects disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Prospective owners should verify service history matches the odometer and listen for drivetrain noise uncommon to a light use pattern, but the official record supports a sound used purchase.
