2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LR10 UGN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on April 8, 2026 at 107,681 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure exactly one day prior. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet minimum standards for the retest. Since 2024, the car has consistently passed inspections without any recorded advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently within acceptable operating limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,730 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 98,700 miles and the April 2026 test at 107,681 miles, the car covered 8,981 miles over two years. This steady usage reflects moderate travel, which generally prevents excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension compared to high-mileage vehicles. The lack of significant mileage gaps suggests the vehicle is used regularly, preventing the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2026. While the record does not list the specific reasons for these failures, the immediate retests often point to consumable items like light bulbs, wipers, or minor emissions components. Given the age of the Clio, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential, as the MOT only flags surface rust until it becomes structural. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines will also ensure that the clean MOT history is not masking underlying rubber rot or hydraulic degradation.
