2002 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · KG52 DDO

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of immediate retests following failures, though the specific mechanical causes for these failures were not recorded in the provided data. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 shows the car passed after an initial failure on the same day. This sequence of failing and then passing on the same date in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that specific defects were identified and rectified quickly to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 23,051 miles is exceptionally low for a 2002 model, averaging approximately 960 miles per year. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has seen very light use over its 24-year lifespan. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, long periods of inactivity can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or degraded fuel. Because the MOT records do not specify the reasons for the failures in 2024 and 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to identify potential recurring issues. A buyer should focus on checking for corrosion on the underside and structural integrity of the chassis, as low-use vehicles often suffer from moisture retention. It is also prudent to inspect the braking system for binding calipers and check the condition of all rubber components, including tyres and suspension mounts, which can perish from age regardless of distance travelled. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
