2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · JF11 LAY

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 41,733 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 23,699 miles on 22 September 2022, rising to 31,194 by 28 September 2023, 36,014 by 23 September 2024, and 41,733 by 23 September 2025. That averages roughly 4,500 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA log is sparse and clean across all entries, indicating light use and no advisories on consumables or structure. A failed test on 22 September 2022 at 23,699 miles carries no recorded defects, with a pass issued the same day at identical mileage. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The owner corrected whatever triggered it without delay. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, a buyer should still verify in person that the low standing time has not allowed tyres to perish or brake calipers to seize. Inspect underside structural integrity for rust and confirm emissions remain within limits, though the history gives no cause for concern.
