2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FN60 UCW

The 2010 Renault Clio presents a highly stable maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness over the past four years. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 107,722 miles passed without any defects, mirroring the clean bills of health recorded in 2023 and 2022. A minor data anomaly appears in the 2024 record, showing both a pass and a fail on 12 November 2024 at 107,034 miles with no defects listed for either, likely indicating a retest or clerical duplication rather than a mechanical failure. Overall, the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical issues, maintaining a reliable and defect-free record. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,700 miles per year, which is typical for a supermini of this vintage. Between the November 2022 test at 105,212 miles and the November 2023 test at 106,125 miles, the Clio covered 913 miles. The following year, up to the November 2024 test at 107,034 miles, it traveled 909 miles. Most recently, the odometer advanced just 688 miles between November 2024 and the November 2025 test at 107,722 miles. This gradual decline in annual mileage suggests lighter recent use, though the consistent yearly testing pattern indicates the car remains in regular service rather than standing idle for long periods. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential, as the record only reflects condition on test days. The low annual mileage and typical urban use of a Renault Clio often lead to specific wear patterns. Inspect the condition of the tyres for uneven wear or perishing, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from aged rubber rather than tread depletion. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when cars cover short distances and moisture does not get burned off the braking surfaces. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and scrutinize the underbody and sills for any signs of structural corrosion, which can develop regardless of mileage if the vehicle is kept in damp conditions.
