2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · MS07 UTO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 April 2025 at 11,794 miles recorded no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend across the last five years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,474 miles per year. Between April 2021 and April 2022, the vehicle covered only 400 miles, indicating periods of very infrequent use or long periods of storage. A slight increase in usage occurred between April 2022 and May 2023, where the car clocked 2,058 miles in just thirteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also raises concerns regarding a vehicle that has likely sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean electronic record, a buyer must inspect specific components for degradation from low-mileage neglect. The physical inspection should check for flat spots on the tyres, perished rubber seals, and seized brake calipers caused by lack of use. Because the car has travelled so little, the buyer should verify the absence of surface corrosion on the brake discs and check suspension bushes for cracking, as these parts often age through time regardless of the distance driven.
