2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LV07 TUP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass on April 27, 2026 at 88,815 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the car transitioned from a mechanical failure to a perfect result with no recorded defects. While previous tests indicated specific faults that required immediate attention, the most recent inspection suggests that the current owner is willing to address critical safety items once identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,674 miles per year. The data shows very little movement between intervals; the May 2024 test at 88,073 miles and the May 2025 test at 88,509 miles show only 436 miles driven over a full year. This pattern suggests the car sits for long periods of use, which can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid integrity despite the low mileage on the drivetrain. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking system due to the May 2025 failure regarding a weakened front brake disc. Although this was rectified to allow the subsequent pass, the low-use pattern often leads to surface corrosion or pitting on discs that are not used frequently. The 2024 failure for an offside front position lamp is a minor electrical issue, but the buyer should verify that all lighting wiring and bulbs remain free of corrosion. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, priority should be checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or rust, as these components perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
