2005 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FH05 GEU

The 2005 Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across the five most recent MOT tests. The November 2025 test at 151,904 miles passed cleanly, continuing an unbroken pass sequence stretching back to November 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical or structural decline in the official record. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,234 miles per year against the car's 21-year life, with the record confirming light yearly use. The tester logged 140,349 miles in November 2021, rising to 142,068 by November 2022, 145,541 by November 2023, 149,205 by November 2024, and 151,904 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 to 3,700 miles added each year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the clean sheet across all entries suggests the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current without flagged advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car despite the clean MOT trail. The DVSA record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet a 2005 Clio at 151,904 miles commonly develops structural rust on sills and subframes that a visual test may miss until penetration occurs. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions hardware during a pre-purchase check. The absence of recorded faults implies reasonable care, but the age and mileage mean drivetrain mounts and steering joints warrant hands-on examination before purchase.
