2003 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · GL03 ABN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-08-02 at 92,531 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. Subsequent tests are absent, leaving a gap of over three years since the last inspection. The historical record shows no recurring mechanical issues, with all prior tests from 2019 to 2020 also passing without defects. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the absence of recent data limits confidence in current roadworthiness. The 2020 test on 76,433 miles included a failed entry, yet no defects were logged, raising questions about data accuracy or procedural anomalies. The vehicle’s mileage of 92,531 miles over 23 years equates to approximately 4,023 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, potentially leading to dry rot in rubber components or corrosion in underbody areas. The MOT history shows minimal variation in mileage between 2019 and 2022, with no evidence of rapid wear or sudden degradation. However, the lack of recent tests and sparse defect records means critical systems like suspension, brakes, and exhaust may require independent verification. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for age-related wear, as well as brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions data in older tests warrants checking for structural rust, particularly in the chassis and underbody. While the MOT history lacks red flags, the vehicle’s age and low mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of systems not covered in the recorded tests.
