2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · MT57 PDX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test conducted on 14 May 2024 at 136,078 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all statutory requirements at that time. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2023 and 2024, the lack of recorded advisory items or recurring failures suggests the owner addressed identified faults promptly before the re-tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,162 miles per year. The car covered 8,000 miles between August 2022 and May 2023, and further 9,421 miles between May 2023 and May 2024. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly rather than left to sit for long periods, which generally benefits the overall health of rubber-based components and the prevention of mechanical seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, given the age of the Clio and the high mileage. Although the recent MOT record is clean, older Renault models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, subframes, and exhaust mounting. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of tearing and check the coil springs for fractures, as these are common points of failure on vehicles exceeding 130,000 miles. Verifying the brake discs for uneven wear or heavy pitting will ensure no binding calipers have developed since the last test.
