2004 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LT54 XCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 March 2025 at 94,880 miles. The history indicates a consistent pattern of maintaining standards, as the failures recorded in March 2024 and March 2025 have clearly been rectified immediately before subsequent passes. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three tests suggests that the owner has addressed issues as they arise rather than allowing a backlog of minor mechanical faults or structural decay. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,880 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with 4,453 miles covered between February 2023 and March 2024, and another 7,608 miles in the following year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and gearbox, the long intervals between service points can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Renaults of this era are prone to corrosion that may not trigger a failure until significant. Despite the clean MOT record, the low-use nature necessitates a check of the suspension bushes and arms for age-related cracking rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from internal oxidation where the pads bond to the disc surface.
