2006 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HG06 UCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT from 29 June 2023 recording a pass with only minor advisories. After a series of failures in 2022‑2020, the 2023 test shows a stabilising trend; the car no longer exhibits critical defects and the recorded issues are limited to consumable wear and corrosion advisories. The maintenance pattern suggests that remedial work was undertaken between the failed 28 June 2023 test and the subsequent pass, indicating an improving condition trajectory. Mileage accumulates at roughly 8,250 mi per year, totalling 164,958 mi over the car’s 20‑year life, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. MOT entries are annual, with clustered tests around mid‑year and occasional single‑year records (e.g., 2019, 2018, 2017). The latest test date is three years old relative to today, a relatively recent inspection for a used car of this vintage. A buyer should inspect the suspension components closely: the Macpherson strut corrosion noted in 2023 and earlier anti‑roll bar linkage bush wear from 2015‑2016 could affect handling. Brake condition merits scrutiny, given the front disc wear and imbalance flagged in 2021 and the recent advisories on strut corrosion. Wheels show slight distortion and tyre cracking, requiring visual checks for uneven wear and damage. The direction indicators exhibit discolouration, the windscreen carries non‑critical damage, and the oil‑leak history suggests checking for fluid seepage. The coil spring condition, CV joint boots, headlamp aim, registration plate lamp operation, and steering rack gaiter integrity are all areas that should be examined in person to confirm they are within acceptable limits.
