2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · L55 JAN

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 7 April 2026 at 43,719 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 7 April 2025 at 37,198 miles and 18 April 2023 at 17,660 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for an eight-year-old car, with the record tracing 17,660 miles in April 2023, 26,997 miles in April 2024, 37,198 miles in April 2025, and 43,719 miles in April 2026. That equates to roughly 5,400 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives little indication of neglect, though the low use may mean prolonged standing periods that can age tyres, seals, and brake components without visible MOT faults. One anomaly appears on 5 April 2024, where the tester logged a fail at 26,995 miles immediately followed by a pass at 26,997 miles, both with no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, but a buyer should confirm the reason with DVSA to rule out a documentation issue. Given the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, no specific mechanical trend demands correction. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify tyre condition, brake binding after standing, and underbody structural integrity, as low-mileage cars often conceal dormant wear unseen by the MOT.
