2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · FN67 WYJ

The 2017 Renault Clio presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent examination on 6 May 2025 at 107,557 miles. The record shows zero recorded defects across all tests, indicating the vehicle consistently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. While the 2025 record contains both a failure and a pass on the same date at the identical mileage, the absence of recorded defects on both entries suggests an administrative anomaly or an immediately rectified minor issue rather than a persistent mechanical fault. Overall, the maintenance trajectory remains stable with no worsening or recurring mechanical failures documented. The mileage accumulation pattern reveals a notable deviation from the vehicle's lifetime average. Between the April 2023 test at 99,322 miles and the May 2024 test at 103,346 miles, the Clio covered roughly 4,000 miles. This trend continued into 2025, with only 4,200 miles added between May 2024 and May 2025. This recent annual mileage of approximately 4,000 miles sits significantly lower than the 11,951 miles per year implied by the vehicle's total age and mileage. Such a drop suggests a recent change in usage, potentially reflecting lighter commuting or extended periods of standing, which can introduce its own maintenance concerns like perished rubber components or brake corrosion. Given the lack of specific mechanical advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage deterioration and typical wear for a nine-year-old supermini. Examine the tyres for sidewall cracking and date codes, as low annual mileage often means aged rubber remains on the vehicle. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when a vehicle covers short distances and standing periods prevent the pads from wiping the rotors clean. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust system for corrosion, ensuring the clean MOT record aligns with the physical condition of these aging components.
