2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FH07 YSD

The Renault Clio presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 27 September 2023 at 131,267 miles returning a pass after an initial failure on the same day that recorded no defects. This same pass-fail-pass pattern occurred on 22 and 23 September 2022 at 125,939 miles, also with no defects listed. The trend is neither worsening nor improving; it is flat, and the zero-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2007 vehicle. The car covered 125,939 miles by September 2022 and 131,267 by September 2023, an annual gain of around 5,328 miles, below the 6,909-mile lifetime average. The earliest record, August 2021 at 121,686 miles, shows a longer 13-month gap with only 4,253 miles added, indicating light recent use. The history is sparse but clean, with no advisories or corrosion, brake, or suspension flags across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as a 19-year-old Renault may hide rust not captured in these tests. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of recorded advisories. The repeated same-day failures with no defects imply the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but the record gives no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades. Given the zero-defect history and low annual mileage, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance. The Clio is mechanically unremarkable on paper, though its age demands verification of hidden wear before purchase.
