2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DC62 CKN

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 July 2025 at 76,939 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage. A failed test on 7 July 2025 at the same mileage was immediately followed by a pass on the same day with no defects logged, indicating a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern. The prior failure on 18 July 2023 at 71,848 miles also carried no recorded defects and preceded a pass the next day, confirming no outstanding faults. The odometer shows 76,939 miles against a July 2012 build, equating to roughly 5,496 miles per year. This is low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. Annual increments stay modest: 71,848 miles in July 2023, 75,908 in July 2024, and 76,939 by July 2025. The car covered only 1,031 miles in the last twelve months before its latest test. Such low use suggests light running or periods of storage rather than high-cycle wear on drivetrain or suspension components. Given the clean record, no recurring advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion appear in the data. The absence of flagged items across five tests implies previous owners kept the Clio to a passable standard with no deferred consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as MOT sheets record only visible defects at test time. Verify the V5C matches the low mileage and confirm service history exists to support the sparse usage. Check tyre sidewall dates and brake caliper freedom given the long idle periods implied by the annual mileage. The record gives no cause to doubt roadworthiness, but standing time can mask perished seals not caught in a single test.
