2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · ML57 AGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 1 September 2025 at 76 720 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement after two consecutive failures in late July and mid‑August 2025 (76 669 miles and 76 686 miles respectively), suggesting that any underlying issues were addressed before the September test. Overall mileage remains low for a 2007 model at roughly 4 038 miles per year, which typically indicates light use. However, the gap between the August 2024 tests at 61 907 miles and the September 2025 pass reveals a spike of about 14 800 miles in roughly thirteen months, a higher accumulation rate than the vehicle’s usual pattern. The duplicate pass/fail on the same day in August 2024 also points to a re‑test rather than a clean history. A buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play, and check for corrosion on chassis components and exhaust brackets. Tyre tread depth and uniformity are critical given the recent mileage jump, and the exhaust should be tested for acceptable emissions. Visual inspection for rust spots, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, will reveal any structural degradation that may not have been flagged by the MOT. In summary, the car’s low cumulative mileage suggests it has been stored or driven sparingly, yet the recent higher mileage accumulation and two back‑to‑back failures indicate some component wear. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection focusing on brakes, suspension, structural integrity and exhaust condition is advisable before purchase.
