2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NS04 PEG

The Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 85,327 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle cleared the annual test cleanly following a sequence of earlier failures that also listed no defects. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage sat at 75,455 miles on 30 August 2024 and rose to 75,508 miles by 4 September 2024, then climbed to 85,327 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 9,800 miles in the final year, above the lifetime average of 6,564 miles per year, though still modest for a 13-year-old car. The record shows three failed tests in late August and early September 2024 at near-identical mileages, all with no defects logged, suggesting the vehicle was presented repeatedly without resolving a non-mechanical refusal such as documentation or lighting function checks. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and the unexplained test failures. The DVSA entries flag no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. Previous keepers likely kept basic consumable wear in check, as no tyre, wiper or advisory items appear in any submission. Verify the V5C and test certificate against the September 2024 failures to confirm no hidden mechanical rejection was masked by zero-defect logs. The clean 2025 pass supports ongoing usability, but the cluster of defect-free failures warrants scrutiny of the car's test history before purchase.
