2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HN60 CGV

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 16 May 2024 at 96,705 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The absence of advisories across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It has covered approximately 6,044 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. Between October 2021 and May 2024, the odometer rose from 86,076 to 96,705 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,000 miles per year in the most recent period. This level of use avoids the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must manually inspect the chassis and suspension. The DVSA tests are snapshots in time and do not always capture slow-developing corrosion on the sills or subframes, which is common for a 2010 Renault Clio. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements. The MOT record confirms the car is legally roadworthy, but it does not track internal engine health or the wear of consumables like brake discs and pads. A physical check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the exhaust system will confirm if the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the bare minimum required to pass its annual test.
