2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · MV13 FXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test in November 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner demonstrates a willingness to rectify identified faults immediately following a failure. While the November 2025 test at 80,351 miles identified several electrical and mechanical defects, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests a proactive approach to repairs rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. At 80,351 miles over 13 years, the Clio has averaged approximately 6,180 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with typical low-mileage commuting, which generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The mileage data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,100 miles leading into the 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary or sudden heavy use. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front drive shaft area, as the split CV boot noted in late 2025 indicates that grease loss and potential joint damage may have begun. Although the car passed shortly after, the integrity of rubber boots across all axles remains vital to prevent premature gearbox failure. The previous failures regarding light bulbs and washer systems point to minor oversights in routine checks, so a thorough test of all exterior lighting and the fluid system is necessary to ensure no underlying wiring issues persist. Given the lack of advisories for structural corrosion or brake components in the history, the structural integrity appears well-maintained for its age.
