2012 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FN12 WLC

The Renault Clio presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 November 2024 at 80,313 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows three prior consecutive passes. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or failures across the full four-year MOT span, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening mechanical or structural issues under the recorded ownership period. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2012 registration. The car covered just 2,179 miles between the November 2021 test at 67,625 miles and the November 2022 test at 72,895 miles, then 5,239 miles to November 2023 at 78,134 miles, and only 2,179 miles to the November 2024 test at 80,313 miles. Averaging roughly 5,737 miles per year, the Clio has seen light use across its fourteen years, with no gaps in annual testing and no sudden high-mileage bursts that would suggest drivetrain fatigue. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches at any point. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of brake disc thickness and coil spring condition, as these items can degrade through standing rather than use. Low annual mileage often hides perished rubber components and surface corrosion invisible to a pass-result MOT. Previous keepers clearly kept the Clio to a consistent testing schedule and addressed requirements before each November deadline. The clean record implies basic upkeep was maintained, though the buyer should verify service history to confirm fluid changes and cam belt interval on this Renault unit.
