2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · FG68 MJF

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 46,592 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 14 August 2024 at 39,335 miles is anomalous: the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old car. From the 12 August 2022 test at 24,511 miles, the car covered 8,863 miles to the 14 August 2024 test at 39,335 miles, then a further 7,257 miles to the 11 August 2025 test at 46,592 miles. That averages roughly 5,800 miles per year. The record shows no gaps longer than the standard twelve-month cycle and no rapid accumulation, so the history is sparse but clean with no advisories on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may mask deterioration from prolonged standing. The absence of any recorded advisories across five tests means corrosion, exhaust emissions, and tyre condition were not flagged by testers, but Renault Clios of this era are prone to rear axle rust and worn front lower arms that a clean MOT does not preclude. Verify the 2024 duplicate entry with DVSA to confirm the failure was procedural. Otherwise the vehicle's documented history implies a cautious owner who kept test intervals tight, though low mileage demands a check for perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres before purchase.
