2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · MA69 DZT

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 42,832 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 11 September 2023 at 23,479 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 6,119 across the recorded life, consistent with typical use for a 2019 vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 13,971 miles at the 12 September 2022 test, 23,479 by 11 September 2023, 33,638 by 20 September 2024, and 42,832 by 1 September 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean pass history with zero advisories across five tests suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the absence of any flagged wear items is unusual for a car now seven years old. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining beyond the test threshold. The 2023 duplicate test entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Given the low yearly use, inspect for corrosion on structural underbody points and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades that may have aged rather than worn through mileage.
