2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · MK09 AHY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 25 March 2026 at 49,126 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This stability extends across the last five annual tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical upkeep without any recurring failures or developing structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 2,890 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 37,259 miles and March 2026 at 49,126 miles, the car covered only 11,867 miles, indicating very light use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to the perishation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown that does not manifest through mileage alone. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection must focus on age-related wear and tear rather than mileage-related stress. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, which can become brittle or crack over long periods of standing. It is also vital to inspect brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rust. Additionally, the structural integrity of the sills and floor pans should be verified to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not introduced hidden corrosion that the MOT tests have yet to highlight.
