2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LS10 KOD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2025 at 86,927 miles, confirming it is presently roadworthy despite minor advisories such as a slightly discoloured offside rear direction indicator and a near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. The preceding test on 30 January 2025 at 86,910 miles recorded multiple failures including inoperative lamps, a missing steering rack gaiter, a rough near‑side rear wheel bearing and a tyre worn on the edge, indicating an unstable maintenance trend that has not consistently resolved. The mileage has risen from 10,964 miles in the 7 March 2013 test to 86,927 miles in February 2025, averaging roughly 7,250 miles per year, which is modest for a 16‑year‑old car and suggests periods of limited use or standing. Notable gaps include a 13,000‑mile increase between the June 2021 test at 56,454 miles and the June 2022 test at 68,778 miles, and a steady climb from 79,075 miles in February 2024 to 86,927 miles in February 2025, reflecting regular but not excessive usage. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and steering components, especially the missing steering rack gaiter and the rough wheel bearing noted in the January 2025 test. Repeated wheel distortion and tyre wear on the near‑side rear point to alignment and suspension checks, while the recurring brake disc pitting and thin pads require a thorough examination of the braking system. Finally, the persistent offside rear direction indicator discolouration should be verified for corrosion or damage, and the washer system should be tested for proper operation.
