2011 Renault Clio I-Music 1.1L Petrol · GL61 CDE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having secured a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 29 May 2026 at 44,275 miles with no defects recorded. This reflects a consistent standard of maintenance following a single failure event in April 2024. The transition from a failure to two consecutive passes without advisories suggests that any mechanical issues identified two years ago were addressed and rectified, and the vehicle currently operates in a condition that meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant usage gap between April 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered 5,449 miles, followed by a more recent accumulation of 1,210 miles in the final year. This pattern indicates the car is likely used for short local trips or sits for long periods between tests. While low mileage generally preserves wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry over time rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related perish that low mileage does not prevent. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, which often occurs when vehicles remain stationary. Given the low brake usage, check the discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized due to inactivity. Additionally, verify the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, as Renault vehicles of this era are prone to rust regardless of how many miles the car has travelled.
