2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HW09 HRA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 31 October 2025 at 81,319 miles resulted in a clean pass, continuing a trend of successful results in recent years. While the vehicle failed a test on 19 October 2023, the immediate pass on the same day indicates that the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over time, with 7,723 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 8,138 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low rate of use suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though low-mileage cars of this age often suffer from the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity due to long periods of stationary operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion is required, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where Renault models are historically prone to rust. Suspension bushes and mounts often perish from age rather than friction, so these should be inspected for cracking or perishing under movement. Additionally, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or scoring, as low-frequency use can lead to surface corrosion and seized calipers.
