2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · ML14 DME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 37,454 miles with no recorded defects. While a failure occurred on 02 October 2025 at just 37,436 miles, the immediate pass thereafter suggests a minor issue or an easily rectified component rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The history indicates a consistent passing record over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,121 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2023 (26,924 miles) and September 2024 (30,348 miles), where the car covered only 3,424 miles in twenty months. The more recent accumulation of 7,106 miles over the final 15 months shows a slight increase in annual use, but such low-mileage operation often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluids despite the lack of mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on components that suffer from age rather than distance. The buyer must check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which can perish or crack during periods of inactivity. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for hidden corrosion is vital to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage over the last decade.
