2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FN09 LFD

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 5 June 2025 at 95,399 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every annual test from June 2023 through June 2025 resulting in a clean pass after any initial failure. The record shows no advisories, no corrosion flags, and no mechanical defects across suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2009 vehicle. The car covered just 1,942 miles between the June 2023 test at 91,457 miles and the June 2024 test at 93,370 miles, then 2,028 miles to the June 2025 test at 95,399 miles, averaging roughly 2,000 miles per year against a 17-year life of 5,612 miles per annum. The sparse record shows two same-day fail-then-pass pairs on 6 June 2024 and 5 June 2025 with no defects listed, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. Long standing periods implied by low use raise the risk of perished rubber components and seized calipers not captured in a clean test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake binding that a no-defect MOT will not reveal. Verify the tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for age-related cracking even where tread remains legal. The duplicated failure entries with zero recorded defects suggest previous owners cleared paperwork issues promptly rather than neglecting upkeep. No recurring wear trend emerges from the data. The Clio's history supports cautious confidence, contingent on a physical check of age-sensitive consumables and underbody condition.
