2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DL64 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest MOT data. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 33,148 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in early October 2024 at 31,010 miles, the vehicle passed the subsequent test just two days later after the necessary repairs. Since that period, the car has maintained a clean testing record without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,762 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered only 1,353 miles, though it added 2,687 miles in the following year leading up to the re-test. This low-usage history suggests minimal wear on high-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension geometry. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. A physical inspection should focus on components that suffer from age rather than distance. The buyer must check the condition of the brake lines, suspension bushes, and tyres, as these can perish or crack over time regardless of low mileage. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized calipers. Given the age of the Renault, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and sills is essential to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the frame over the last decade.
