2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · KP07 CHV

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile based on a maintenance trend that appears reactive rather than proactive. The most recent recorded MOT test in November 2021 at 107,890 miles revealed multiple mechanical failures, including a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and a failing nearside anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While the car passed after these repairs, the faults indicate that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a legal failure point rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 107,890 miles over 19 years reflects a low usage pattern, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. However, the data shows a significant gap in activity; between November 2019 and November 2021, the vehicle covered only 8,930 miles over two years. This low-frequency use, combined with age, often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion. Given that the last recorded MOT was performed in late 2021, the vehicle is now over four years overdue for a test, making its current mechanical state unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The history of failing on deteriorated anti-roll bar links and CV boots suggests that the rubber components in the front end are prone to rapid wear. The recurring issues with tyres worn to the limit in both 2019 and 2021 suggest potential alignment problems or simple neglect of basic upkeep. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion around the brake lines and wheel arches, which are common on a Renault of this age that has sat stationary for extended periods.
