2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DF10 AEM

This Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 144,045 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 133,937 miles and the September 2025 test at 144,045 miles, the car covered 10,108 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle with this mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as surface rust does not always trigger an MOT failure until it compromises structural integrity. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components typically degrade at this mileage regardless of the MOT outcome. A manual check of the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns will confirm if the previous owner performed preventative maintenance or simply addressed the bare minimum required for a pass.
