2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · NA63 OGO

The current roadworthiness status of this Renault Clio is stable, supported by a clean pass on 16 September 2025 at 99,242 miles. The vehicle history shows a recurring pattern of immediate retests following initial failures, though these failures lack recorded defects, suggesting administrative errors or minor rectifications performed on-site rather than significant mechanical failures. The absence of advisories across the last three years of testing indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard, with no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical degradation. With an odometer reading of 99,242 miles over thirteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a supermini of this vintage. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, showing no signs of extended periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The gap between the December 2022 test and the January 2024 test reflects a standard usage cycle, confirming that the car has seen regular road time rather than sitting idle for prolonged durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the condition of the clutch bite point and the responsiveness of the manual gearbox, as these are high-mileage consumables. Given the age of the vehicle, perform a thorough check of the front suspension wishbone bushes and the rear coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these components frequently wear out on this chassis after 90,000 miles. Verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item not captured by the MOT testing process.
