2002 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · LD52 SCV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 10 April 2026 at 94,483 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This mirrors the results from the 2022 through 2025 tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components remain within acceptable operating parameters without recurring failure points. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,937 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2026, the car covered only 6,991 miles, representing a very slow accumulation rate of roughly 1,750 miles annually. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking system. However, such long periods of low-use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which mileage alone cannot reflect. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as older Renault models are prone to corrosion that occurs regardless of use. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished material, as rubber can become brittle over two decades of standing. Checking the brake discs for pitting or rust is also vital, as low-mileage vehicles often develop surface rust if left stationary for extended periods.
