2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DS08 HFY

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state based on the most recent official record. The MOT history shows a failure on 25 April 2024 at 92,814 miles. Because there is no subsequent pass recorded between that date and today, 27 July 2026, the car has been without a valid certificate for over two years. The maintenance trend is unstable, characterised by a pattern of initial failures followed by immediate passes in previous years. The mileage is low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,156 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady increase from 78,451 miles on 5 April 2022 to 92,814 miles by April 2024. This suggests the car was in regular use until the most recent failure. However, the gap in testing since April 2024 indicates the vehicle may have been stationary for a significant period. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. While the DVSA record lists no specific defects for the failures, the repeated pattern of failing and then passing on the same day suggests minor but recurring issues. Long periods of inactivity often lead to binding calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and flat-spotted tyres. Corrosion is a primary concern for a 2008 Renault Clio. The lack of recent testing means structural integrity, specifically around the sills and chassis rails, must be verified. Any buyer should check for seized brake discs and fluid leaks that typically develop when a vehicle sits idle for over two years.
