2014 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · DL64 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 63,529 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all current safety and environmental standards. This follows a failure in June 2024 which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on retest, suggesting the previous owner is responsive to mechanical maintenance requirements when they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 43,772 miles and June 2023 at 51,937 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles, representing a slight spike in usage. However, the interval between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests saw an increase of only 4,607 miles. This low annual mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine components have faced relatively low mechanical stress compared to average-use vehicles, though it may indicate potential degradation of rubber components and seals due to age alone. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the suspension and braking system despite the lack of recorded failures. Low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished suspension arm bushes that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they snap. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven pitting, as infrequent use can lead to rust buildup on the rotors. Given that the structural integrity appears clean over the last three years, verify the underside for sills and subframe mounting points to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the 2022 inspection.
