2010 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · LS60 AAN

The 2010 Renault Clio presents a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-09-22 at 105,167 miles resulting in a pass. However, the vehicle failed two consecutive tests in 2023 and 2025, both without recorded defects, suggesting potential issues with non-critical components or procedural oversights. The lack of specific fault details in these failures complicates assessing whether the car’s mechanical state has deteriorated or remained stable. The latest pass indicates compliance at the time, but the absence of a test since 2025-09-22—over 10 months ago—raises concerns about ongoing maintenance consistency. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 16-year age, averaging 6,573 miles annually. The 2023-10-31 failure at 94,463 miles was followed by a pass just nine days later at 94,529 miles, implying rapid resolution of an unspecified issue. A significant jump to 99,298 miles by 2024-08-17 suggests extended use without major interventions, while the 2025-09-19 failure at 105,161 miles occurred just six miles before the subsequent pass. This pattern of intermittent testing and minimal mileage fluctuations does not reveal clear trends in wear or systemic failures, though the sparse defect data limits deeper analysis. A buyer should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade in older vehicles. The brake system requires scrutiny for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these can develop unnoticed over time. Structural integrity checks, including corrosion under the chassis and body panels, are critical given the car’s age. While the MOT history lacks explicit warnings, the absence of detailed defect reports underscores the need for a professional assessment to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
