2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · JC04 SDC

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 11 June 2025 at 48,262 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records reviewed. The latest test showed no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 13 June 2024 at 43,703 miles and an earlier pass on 10 June 2023 at 38,132 miles, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns in the data. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2013 vehicle. From the June 2023 test at 38,132 miles to the June 2024 test at 43,703 miles the car covered 5,571 miles, then only 4,559 miles to the June 2025 test at 48,262 miles, averaging roughly 3,700 miles per year overall. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. Two failed tests appear in the history, on 10 June 2025 and 13 June 2024, both at the same mileages as the subsequent passes and both with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, though the buyer should confirm the failure reasons through the full DVLA failure notices. Given the low mileage and absence of flagged defects, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify structural integrity underneath, check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing periods, and examine suspension components and exhaust emissions in person. The clean record implies reasonable upkeep, but thirteen years of age warrant a physical check for hidden rust and perishable items not captured by the MOT.
