2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · GY65 AEA

The Renault Clio last passed its MOT on 30 April 2025 at 104,902 miles with no defects recorded, yet that certificate expired on 30 April 2026 and the vehicle now lacks valid test cover as of 15 July 2026. Across the available DVSA history from March 2023, the mechanical trend is stable; every examination logged zero advisories or faults. Two failures on 25 April 2025 and 8 March 2023 also carried no defect entries, showing the car satisfied scrutiny once processed. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old hatchback. The record shows 96,889 miles on 8 March 2023, 97,211 by 12 April 2023, 101,590 on 8 April 2024, and 104,902 on 30 April 2025. That spans roughly 8,000 miles across twenty-eight months, about 3,400 annually in the later period, a mild decline from average. The sparse clean ledger offers no sign of rapid accumulation, though the absence of any 2026 test leaves current wear unknown. Previous owners steered the car through two fail-pass cycles without recorded mechanical causes, implying test-centre administrative issues rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer must still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers in person, as these Clio wear items escape MOT capture when within limits. The entries flag no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but sills and subframes warrant visual checks given the mileage. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain show no logged faults, yet the lapsed MOT demands a fresh test before road use. Request the formal refusal reasons for the two blank failures from DVSA to confirm no hidden defects.
