2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HY59 VWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent history of clean passes in recent years. The most recent MOT test in October 2022 at 137,203 miles saw the car pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the previous owner successfully maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. Following a failure in late 2019, the car has operated without advisory notices for three consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between November 2019 and October 2022, the car covered 23,366 miles, representing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of standing stationary. This regularity suggests the mechanical components have been regularly operated, which helps prevent seal degradation. However, the last recorded MOT is now nearly three and a half years old as of June 2026, meaning the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified by official DVSA records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the vehicle is now seventeen years old. While the record is clean of recurring mechanical faults, high-mileage Renaults of this era often suffer from corrosion on mounting points and exhaust hangers. Inspect the brake lines for surface rust and check the suspension bushes for perished rubber. Given the significant gap since the last test, a thorough check of the fluid levels and tyre condition is essential to ensure no neglect has occurred during storage.
