2012 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · GF12 GWE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 31, 2025 at 101,910 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a mechanical failure in the previous year. While the 2024 test revealed deferred brake maintenance, the subsequent clean certificate suggests that the previous owner addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard recently. At 101,910 miles over 14 years, the Clio has averaged approximately 7,279 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a city car. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,000 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake system corrosion. A buyer should focus their attention on the front braking system during a physical inspection. The October 2024 failure flagged both front brake discs as pitted and scored alongside thin pads, indicating that these components were nearing their service limit. While these appear to have been replaced, you should verify the current thickness of the pads and check for any uneven wear or caliper binding on the new discs. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a damaged mirror and inoperative registration lamp suggests a history of minor cosmetic and electrical neglect, which warrants a thorough check of all exterior lighting and plastic fittings.
