2018 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LV18 DXW

The 2018 Renault Clio presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 38,121 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the first available entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year MOT history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any official test. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 7,299 miles at the 29 April 2021 test, rising to 12,721 by 4 April 2022, 21,080 by 13 April 2023, 29,731 by 11 July 2024, and 38,121 by July 2025. That averages roughly 4,765 miles per year. The step from 2023 to 2024 shows a slightly longer gap of fifteen months rather than twelve, but accumulation stayed consistent at around 8,600 miles across that period. The low, steady figures and total absence of flagged wear suggest gentle use, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without showing in test results. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the spotless record. The MOT only captures condition at test date and does not measure hidden corrosion, degraded suspension bushes, or sticking brake calipers that light use can mask. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and confirm brake discs are free from pitting after likely low-speed town running. Verify the age of the original tyres and inspect sidewalls for cracking from low mileage and weathering. The Clio's modest annual use implies careful ownership, yet a physical check remains essential to confirm the test data reflects genuine mechanical health rather than a car left idle for long stretches.
