2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LP65 KCA

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five consecutive MOT passes between 2021 and 2025 achieved without a single recorded defect or advisory. This stable trend is confirmed by the most recent pass on 26 August 2025, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety and emissions standards without requiring corrective work over the last five years. The recorded mileage of 32,468 miles is low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,952 miles per year. Such low annual accumulation suggests a usage profile consisting of short journeys or significant periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this pattern typically shifts the wear profile away from drivetrain fatigue and toward the potential degradation of rubber components and the stagnation of fluid-based systems. As the MOT history is devoid of specific failures or advisories, there are no flagged components such as suspension linkages or brake pipes to target. However, given the low mileage relative to the vehicle's age, a test drive should focus on identifying any signs of binding in the braking system or stiffness in the steering rack. Listen for any unusual knocks or thumps from the suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate perished bushings that have not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions failures or oil leaks in the DVSA data provides a baseline, but a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion remains advisable. Check for any uneven tyre wear or steering pull during the test drive to ensure the wheel alignment is correct. Verify that the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly to ensure the cooling system is functioning as expected following a history of light use.
