2003 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · GP03 MHV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT conducted on 15 December 2023 at 146,138 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car was in a fully compliant state at that time. This represents an improvement over previous years where the vehicle failed its initial tests, suggesting that the most recent owner was proactive in rectifying necessary repairs to achieve a clean pass certificate. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 and January 2023, during which the car covered 4,888 miles. Since the final test in December 2023, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT for over two years. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is now significantly overdue. This lack of recent data suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been neglected recently, meaning components like rubber hoses and fluid integrity have aged without professional scrutiny. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Renault models from this era are prone to corrosion-related rot. While the 2023 record is clean, the previous failures in 2021 and early 2023 indicate a history of issues with components that require frequent attention. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake system for binding calipers or pitted discs. Because of the age and the overdue status, a thorough check of the underbody is essential to ensure no significant rust has developed during the long period without recorded testing.
