2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HS05 ABS

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating it met the statutory roadworthiness criteria at that test. Five MOT entries appear in the supplied history spanning January 2024 to July 2025, but two of those entries are failures with no defects recorded against them, which is unusual and means the specific reasons for those refusals cannot be determined from the data provided. The most recent pass in July 2025 followed a failed attempt and a subsequent pass on 20 January 2025, and a similar pattern of failure followed by pass occurred at the January 2024 test. While the overall trend ends on a passed result, the presence of unrecorded failure reasons means a buyer cannot rely on the absence of advisories to confirm the mechanical state. The recorded mileage of 65,887 against an 11-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 5,990 miles annually, which is low for the age and suggests either limited use or extended periods of standing. Without intermediate mileages between tests it is not possible to confirm whether the vehicle has been driven consistently or left idle for stretches, both of which carry their own mechanical implications such as brake seizure, tyre flat-spotting, and deterioration of fluids and rubber components. Because the two failure entries contain no defect information, the specific areas of concern at those tests cannot be identified from the record alone. A prospective buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on the brake system, including caliper operation and disc condition, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components for any binding or play, and the underbody and structural areas for corrosion given the low annual mileage which can accelerate surface oxidation. Tyre condition, exhaust integrity, and the general state of the fluid services should also be physically examined, as the MOT history alone does not record any of these items. Buying score: 60. Risk level: Medium.
