2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · MA05 DAS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent MOT test on 3 March 2026. Although the record shows two consecutive failures immediately preceding these passes, the absence of recorded defects during those failures suggests minor issues were rectified quickly. The current status is clean, with no advisories or defects noted at the 111,794 mile mark. The mileage accumulation is significant for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between 8 March 2024 and 3 March 2026, the car covered 32,649 miles. This averages to approximately 16,324 miles per year, which is high for a small hatchback. The consistent annual increase from 79,145 miles in 2024 to 96,282 miles in 2025, and finally 111,794 miles in 2026, indicates regular, heavy usage rather than sporadic or short-distance driving. This high-mileage usage pattern necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-related components. Given the sustained annual mileage, the suspension system, including coil springs and bushes, should be checked for fatigue. The brake system, specifically the discs and pads, warrants close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, while the drivetrain and various rubber seals should be examined for signs of age-related degradation. A buyer should also verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and mechanical inspections have kept pace with this high usage. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or emissions failures, the sheer volume of miles suggests that consumables like tyres and wiper blades will require frequent replacement. Focus on the underside of the vehicle to confirm no significant rust has developed despite the clean MOT record.
