2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HN10 RAU

The 2010 Renault Clio presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 6 February 2026 at 61,875 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though it was preceded on the same day by a failed attempt showing no listed defects, a pattern repeated on 7 February 2025 when a fail at 55,920 miles was followed by a pass at 55,921 miles. Such same-day fail-then-pass cycles with no recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage stands at 61,875 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,867 miles per year and confirming light use for the vehicle's age. The record shows 49,596 miles on 8 February 2024, rising to 55,921 by February 2025 and 61,875 by February 2026, a steady annual accumulation near 6,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The clean advisory history across all three years indicates the prior keeper kept consumables and structural items within test limits, though low standing time risk from infrequent use is not evidenced by corrosion or flat-spot advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the unexplained same-day fail entries that may mask minor binding calipers or emission check resets. Verify the VIN and test station logs for the 2025 and 2026 dual entries to confirm no suppressed defects exist outside the published record. Given the absence of recorded advisories on any pass, serious structural or mechanical risk is not indicated by the data, but pre-purchase checks on exhaust integrity and underbody rust remain prudent on a 2010 hatch with 61k miles.
