2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NV59 VVT

The overall roadworthiness status is good , but the maintenance trend is worsening relative to the most recent test. The vehicle failed twice on the MOT in November 2024, with a mileage gap of 4,000 miles between the two tests, indicating that the mechanical condition deteriorated significantly during the period between these failures. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since the November 2024 inspection, as the consistent failure rate points to a lack of regular servicing. The mileage history reveals a significant gap of 4,000 miles between the most recent test and the first failure, which is a critical indicator of potential structural risks. The vehicle has not shown any rapid mileage accumulation or sudden wear on consumables since the November 2024 test, but the lack of a test in December 2023 suggests that the car may have been parked or driven less frequently since then, leaving the suspension and braking systems vulnerable to corrosion and binding calipers. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and corrosion on the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Given the two failures in November 2024, the tester must verify that the brake pads and rotors are free from rust and that the suspension components are not binding, as these are the primary components prone to failure in a vehicle that has not been serviced in a while.
