2008 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FL58 UWF

The 2008 Renault Clio presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 10 October 2023 at 142,974 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared its last two successive annual tests without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,943 miles per year against the recorded 142,974 miles. The records show a steady climb: 132,832 miles at the October 2021 test, 138,996 miles at the failed October 2022 attempt, 139,008 miles the next day on pass, and 142,974 miles by October 2023. A notable anomaly appears on 5 October 2022 when the car failed with no defects logged, then passed without work the following day at 139,008 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The DVSA history raises no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues across the four entries, and no advisories flag worn tyres, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of detailed component reporting in the clean records. Verify the 5 October 2022 failure reason at point of sale, as the nil-defect flag offers no technical explanation for the rejection.
