2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · NV68 EYG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 36,840 miles resulted in a clean pass, despite a failure recorded just three days prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a clerical error or a minor non-safety related issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since 2022, the car has maintained a perfect record without any recorded defects or advisories. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 20,170 miles and November 2024 at 31,936 miles, the car covered only 11,766 miles over two years. This low-intensity usage often indicates short-distance trips or long periods of stationary time. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long-term standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid issues from lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear. Given the low mileage, check the condition of the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, which occurs regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit stationary frequently develop surface rust. While the MOT record shows no structural issues, a manual check of the underbody and suspension bushes remains advisable to ensure the rubber has not become brittle over the eight-year period.
