2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FH56 MOV

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 26 June 2025 at 71,261 miles recording no defects. Prior to that pass, the same day saw a failure at 71,259 miles with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding annual tests from March 2022 through March 2024 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the recorded period. The mileage stands at 71,261 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 3,750 miles per year. The records show 51,939 miles in March 2022, 59,019 in March 2023, 65,697 in March 2024, then a jump to 71,261 by June 2025. That final 12-month span added about 5,564 miles, slightly above the long-term average but still low for the age. The clean history with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse five-entry record limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low annual mileage and the 18-year age raise the risk of standing corrosion on structural members, subframes, and brake lines even where testers logged nothing. Check the coil springs, suspension arms, and calipers for stiffness from disuse. The twin 26 June 2025 entries suggest paperwork anomalies; verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure was administrative. Given the absent advisories across all tests, no recurring mechanical fault demands correction. The Clio's history supports a sound used purchase, subject to a hands-on check for age-related rust and degraded rubber components not captured by the MOT regime.
