2008 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FE08 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent inspection in April 2024 at 157,407 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, following a brief failure in March of the same year at 157,099 miles. This isolated failure suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately, as the vehicle subsequently met all safety and emission standards without further intervention or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,745 miles per annum. Between March 2021 and April 2024, the car covered 16,363 miles, moving from 141,044 to 157,407 miles. This steady rate of use indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mile stress nor has it sat stationary long enough to cause significant rubber component degradation. The intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting a proactive approach to annual compliance. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories in the digital history, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on typical wear points for an eighteen-year-old Renault. While the records do not flag structural corrosion, the high mileage necessitates a close check of the sills and artwork arches for surface rust. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the way bushes and coil springs, as these components often fatigue at this mileage threshold even before they trigger an MOT failure.
