2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EA07 KUX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 23 February 2026 at 66,456 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently met the minimum standard over the last three years. While the record shows failures immediately preceding the passes in 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded specific defects suggests these were likely administrative issues or minor items that were rectified before the retest rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 2,117 miles, while the interval between 2025 and 2026 saw 2,166 miles. This low usage rate typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and gearbox. However, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the Renault necessitates a thorough check for structural integrity, specifically around the sills and wheel arches where corrosion often develops. Inspect the suspension bushes and brake calipers for seizing, as these parts can perish or fail due to time rather than use. Checking the condition of the tyres for cracking is vital, as low-mileage vehicles often carry aged rubber despite having sufficient tread depth.
