MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Renault Clio (N642 KLA) between December 2006 and May 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 31 May 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (9 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 13 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicates a fault (7.1.6 (a))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
