2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FN08 YKJ

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical condition, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 40,689 miles. Notably, the record shows failed tests on 2024-09-05 and 2025-09-10 with no defects recorded, strongly suggesting aborted initial tests or administrative anomalies rather than mechanical failures, as the subsequent passes list zero defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories recorded across the available history. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for an 2008 vehicle, averaging just over 2,200 miles annually. Between 2023-09-06 and 2024-09-05, the Clio covered 2,864 miles, and from 2024-09-05 to 2025-09-10, it traveled 2,720 miles. This consistent, low-mileage usage pattern indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary rather than enduring sustained high wear on its drivetrain and consumables. Despite the clean MOT record, prolonged inactivity poses distinct risks that a database cannot reveal. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly; low annual mileage often leads to aged rubber with superficial cracking long before the tread wears down. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated from standing, while brake discs are highly susceptible to surface corrosion from lack of use. Checking the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion and verifying the structural integrity of the underbody are essential steps before purchase.
