2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EO59 FLN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2022 at 102,776 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is over four years overdue for its annual inspection, leaving no verifiable data on the current state of its mechanical or structural components over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between June 2019 at 88,009 miles and January 2021 at 98,764 miles, the car covered roughly 10,700 miles. The interval between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows even less accumulation. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity can often lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid degradation if the vehicle has sat stationary. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common areas of failure for this generation of Clio. The history shows two immediate test failures in 2019 and 2022 that were rectified quickly, suggesting the previous owners were reactive to testing requirements. You should inspect for significant corrosion on the subframe and mounting points, and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Because the record lacks an MOT for four years, a thorough check of the braking system and fluid leaks is essential to ensure no hidden mechanical decline has developed since the last professional assessment.
