2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · NC68 POA

The 2019 Renault Clio’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-27 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 43,141 miles. The consistent pass history across five consecutive tests—spanning from 2022 to 2025—indicates a stable maintenance trend without recurring serious faults. The absence of advisories or major failings suggests the vehicle has been kept in sound condition, though the single minor issue in January 2022 (nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit) was addressed before the subsequent test. This pattern implies responsible ownership, though buyers should verify whether the tyre was replaced or repaired since then. The recorded mileage of 43,141 miles over seven years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 6,163 miles annually. There is a notable gap between the January 2022 and July 2022 tests, where mileage only increased by 97 miles—suggesting the car may have stood unused or been lightly driven during that period. Beyond that, the mileage progression remains steady without abrupt spikes, which could indicate consistent, moderate usage rather than aggressive driving. The lack of any advisories or defects in recent tests further supports that major wear items like suspension bushes or brake calipers have not yet reached critical thresholds. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise the nearside front tyre tread depth and condition, as the 2022 advisory suggests this area may require closer scrutiny. The absence of any brake-related defects in recent tests does not preclude gradual wear on rear calipers or discs, particularly if the vehicle has experienced heavy braking loads. Suspension components—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially given the car’s age and mileage. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for signs of corrosion or damage, as these are common failure points in Renault Clios of this era. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related faults are not recorded but could develop over time.
