2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FN58 XHT

The 2008 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 35,937 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests show the same clean outcome. The history reveals no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the examined period, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition or unresolved defects. Recorded mileage stands at 35,937 miles against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,996 miles per year. The test on 9 June 2022 captured 33,183 miles, rising to 35,640 by 12 June 2023, then 35,891 on 17 June 2024, and 35,937 on 2 July 2025. Annual accumulation stayed below 2,800 miles throughout. A duplicate entry on 17 June 2024 shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Low mileage and a clean MOT ledger imply light use, though prolonged standing invites perished rubber components and seized mechanisms not always visible in a pass result. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion that static storage promotes. Examine exhaust integrity and underbody structural points for rust, as the tester logged no advisories to confirm freedom from such defects. Given the absence of flagged wear across five tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance. Verify service history independently, since MOT passes alone do not evidence routine oil changes or timing belt renewal on a 2008 petrol unit.
