2011 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NA11 MLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in September 2022 at 125,304 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car was maintained to a functional standard up to that point. Since the last MOT is now nearly four years old, the vehicle is currently overdue and requires an immediate inspection to verify its current mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between April 2019 and July 2020, where the car covered over 25,000 miles in just fifteen months. Following this period, usage slowed considerably, with only about 4,800 miles recorded between July 2021 and September 2022. This reduction in annual mileage can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidew, despite the relatively low total odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear rather than high alone. While the history shows no recurring faults, the long interval since the last recorded test increases the risk of hidden corrosion on the sills or perished engine mounting bolts. Inspect the brake calipers for binding if the car hasn't been driven frequently, and check the exhaust system for structural thinning. Given the age of the Clio, verifying the integrity of the fluids and the condition of the suspension is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered during its periods of lower use.
