2007 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · HV57 PWN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test on 26 August 2022 at 79,545 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a brief failure just two days prior at 79,543 miles. This immediate rectification likely involved a minor item such as a blown bulb or wiper blade that was addressed instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,187 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 64,329 miles in July 2019 and 79,545 miles in August 2022. However, there is a significant gap in the records as the last recorded MOT was in 2022. Given the vehicle has sat for nearly four years without an official inspection, the current roadworthiness is unverified. Long periods of standing cause degradation of rubber components and fluids that occurs regardless of the low odometer reading. Despite the clean history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected by age rather than mileage. The low usage suggests a high risk of dry rot, perished suspension bushes, and cracked tyres due to lack of movement. The brake system should be checked for corrosion and seized calipers, which are common when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches requires scrutiny, as the 2007 Clio models are prone to rust that may not have been captured in the final test.
