2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FE11 FHS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 93,681 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the historical data reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just five days prior to a successful result, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when legally required rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with low-intensity usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,245 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 80,390 miles and the August 2025 test at 93,681 miles, the car covered 13,291 miles over two years. This low rate of use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading, such as suspension bushes and seals, due to age and periods of relative inactivity. While the recent records show no active structural defects or mechanical failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the age of the 2011 Clio, check for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting, which are common points of failure on this model. The buyer should also inspect for binding calipers or perished brake hoses, as the history of reactive repairs indicates that components may only be replaced once they reach a point of failure.
