2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · GU10 AYP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed the test in November 2025 at 83,724 miles, it had failed that same session due to multiple tyre defects and an inoperative stop lamp. The recurring nature of tyres reaching or falling below legal limits across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses consumable issues when a failure is imminent, rather than performing routine checks between annual tests. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,724 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,233 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,143 miles driven between the November 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often accelerates the degradation of age-related components such as rubber,, evidenced by the cracking offside rear tyre noted in both 2024 and 2025. A buyer must physically inspect the current set of tyres, as the history shows a trend of uneven wear and perishing, which may indicate alignment issues or perished suspension bushes. The previous failure for a defective exhaust silencer mount and discoloured indicators suggests that minor hardware and external fittings are frequently overlooked. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also essential, as these areas are common points of failure on this model that are not always fully captured by standard MOT inspections.
