2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NG59 BPO

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in July 2024 at 150,250 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the trend shows a recurring cycle of failing tests and then passing upon re-test, suggesting the owner only addresses faults when legally compelled by the MOT tester. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old Renault Clio, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 18,884 miles in a single year, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to the historical average. Usage levelled back to roughly 17,000 miles between August 2023 and July 2024. This high annual mileage puts considerable strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which are common failure points on a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as the high mileage often leads to wear on rubber bushes and coil springs. While the record does not list specific mechanical failures, the frequent failures and re-tests suggest that minor defects like bulbs, wipers, or exhaust emissions may be ignored until the test date. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as these areas are prone to degradation over 150,000 miles of UK road road use.
