2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LS10 MZW

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 January 2026 at 78,134 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults. The owner cleared the test at the first clean attempt after a same-day failure on 31 January 2026 at 71,108 miles that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle at 78,134 miles, averaging roughly 4,883 miles per year. The records show light annual use: 70,423 miles on 21 December 2023, 71,862 at the pass on 20 December 2024, and 78,134 by January 2026. A gap of under 6,300 miles across two years suggests gentle running, though the twin fail-pass pairs on both 20 December 2024 and 31 January 2026 at near-identical mileages point to retest handling rather than accumulated wear. The clean sheets across all three years mean the tester logged no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches. Low mileage and standing periods still raise the risk of perished rubber, stiff handbrake cables, and surface rust on sills or subframes not captured on a pass. A buyer should physically inspect underseal condition, tyre sidewall cracking, and brake binding after the car has sat unused. Given the sparse but clean record, the Clio reflects a lightly used example with no flagged structural or mechanical defects. Verify the same-day failures were paperwork-driven and commission a pre-purchase check on fluids, cambelt interval, and chassis integrity before purchase.
