2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FJ62 VHC

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 35,980 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year clean pass sequence from the 26 January 2022 examination at 19,552 miles. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime during this period. The mileage pattern shows consistently low annual use across the history. From 19,552 miles in January 2022 the odometer rose to 23,279 by January 2023, then 27,852 in February 2024, 32,108 in February 2025, and 35,980 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,400 miles per year, well beneath typical class norms for a 2012 hatchback. The clean record with no gaps or sudden accumulation suggests careful, light local use rather than neglect, though standing periods common at this mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. The MOT tester recorded no structural corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc defects across the five tests, but the Clio's age means subframe and sill rust can advance between annual examinations. Low mileage combined with likely storage makes brake caliper binding and flat-spotted tyres plausible despite the clean advisories. Given the absence of any flagged mechanical or emissions faults in the official data, the recorded history implies a well-kept example. Prospective owners should verify the 2026 pass with a visual check of underbody integrity and confirm consumable condition, as wiper blades and tyre age are not reflected in a defect-free certificate.
