2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NA60 ACV

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 6 November 2025 at 124,753 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Each prior annual examination from 2021 through 2024 likewise closed without advisory or failure, indicating consistent compliance rather than intermittent rectification. The odometer trace aligns with typical use for a 2010 hatchback. From the 2 November 2021 test at 102,341 miles to the 6 November 2025 test at 124,753 miles, the car covered 22,412 miles across four annual cycles, an average of roughly 5,180 miles per year. This sits below the 7,797 miles per annum implied by the total lifetime figure. The record shows no missing years and no sudden mileage jumps that would hint at odometer irregularity or severe duty. Previous keepers clearly met statutory test requirements on schedule. Every examination passed cleanly with no minor consumable warnings such as tyre tread or wiper blades. That pattern implies basic upkeep was not neglected, though a clean sheet offers no insight into components the tester did not flag. At sixteen years old, the Clio's suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical scrutiny for age-related degradation not yet at failure threshold. A buyer should commission a ramp inspection of structural members for corrosion, particularly sills and subframes, and measure brake disc wear against manufacturer limits. The absence of historical advisories does not exempt the vehicle from routine wear on exhaust emissions systems or steering joints. Given the stable record, the car represents a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint, but in-person verification of mechanical elasticity remains prudent.
