2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NL67 FNJ

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 84,052 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three-year window. The vehicle passed cleanly on 11 April 2024 at 73,351 miles, and again on 8 April 2025 at 78,996 miles with no advisories or faults. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the data. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2017 hatchback. The car covered 73,351 miles by April 2024, rose to 78,996 by April 2025, and reached 84,052 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year across the recorded period, below the 9,339 average implied by the lifetime figure, suggesting lighter recent use. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. Two anomalies require scrutiny before purchase. On both 8 April 2025 and 9 April 2026 the tester issued a fail at 78,996 and 84,052 miles respectively, yet recorded no defects, and the car passed on the same date. This points to an administrative or presentation fault at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect. The buyer should obtain the full VOSA failure reason codes from the DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed advisory exists. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition despite the clean record, as a nine-year-old Clio can hide fatigue not captured in a pass. Check underneath for corrosion and inspect the exhaust for leaks. The absence of advisories across three tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the duplicated fail-pass entries warrant documentary confirmation.
