2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LR55 AAK

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate re-test successes. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 107,756 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at 107,754 miles. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues to maintain legal compliance rather than allowing faults to persist. The trend remains consistent, as the car has successfully passed its annual inspections for the last three recorded years. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,756 miles represents an annual average of approximately 5,131 miles, which is significantly lower than the UK average. The data shows a very steady usage pattern, with only 1,999 miles covered between the February 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage typically indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between significant mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation such as perished rubber hoses, leaking seals, or brake fluid contamination if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and rubber components, given the vehicle's age and low usage. Despite the clean pass records, the Clio requires close scrutiny of sills, wheel arches, and floor pans where corrosion typically develops on this model. The recurring failures in February 2025 and 2026 without listed defect descriptions likely involved minor items like blown bulbs, wipers, or slight tyre adjustments that were addressed immediately. Ensure you inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake discs for surface pitting to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in seized calipers or degraded hardware.
