2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HV57 LNE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having secured a clean MOT pass in its most recent inspection on 23 March 2026 at 118,192 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilization, as the car has transitioned from previous failures to a status of no recorded defects or advisories. While history indicates intermittent issues, the recent result suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure the vehicle meets testing standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 1,257 miles, whereas it saw a more significant increase of 7,193 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This recent spike in usage suggests the vehicle is currently being driven more frequently than in previous years, though the total mileage does not indicate excessive mechanical strain for a Renault of this age. Despite the recent clean pass, the history of failures in March 2024 and April 2025 indicates that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical or compliance lapses. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on older Clios. Attention must also be paid to any potential structural corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the brake lines to ensure that the lack of recent advisories is not masking underlying degradation that could accelerate with the increased mileage.
