2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · GF59 LLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 108,384 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the owner has successfully addressed recurring electrical and visibility faults identified in previous years. While earlier tests indicated a reactive approach to minor repairs, the most recent clean certificate suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets basic regulatory requirements. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 108,384 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,376 miles per year. This is consistent with low-mileage commuting, which typically reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 13,659 miles in just one year, indicating a period of high usage compared to its historical average. This spike in mileage explains the accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and wipers noted during that period. A buyer should focus inspection on the electrical system, as the record shows repeated failures regarding registration plate lamps and stop lamp circuitry across 2023 and 2024. The previous failure for headlamp aim also suggests potential mounting issues or adjustment bracket wear that should be verified for stability. Additionally, the nearside front tyre showing uneven wear in 2023 points to a past alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which warrants a physical check of the front suspension geometry to ensure no further damage persists. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion remains essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly highlight past integrity concerns.
