2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · OY12 FXT

This 2012 Renault Clio demonstrates an exceptionally strong roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 June 2025 at approximately 79,115 miles. The vehicle record shows zero advisory items or major structural failures across the last four consecutive annual tests, reflecting diligent upkeep by the previous keeper. A brief administrative failure occurred on 23 June 2023, which was immediately rectified and passed two days later without recording mechanical faults. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance standard where wear and tear items are addressed promptly. At roughly fourteen years of age and sitting under 80,000 miles, the odometer displays a low annual average of about 5,651 miles. The testing cadence reveals steady use rather than extended periods of storage, with annual inspections occurring predictably between May and June. The 2022 test at 65,000 miles, the 2023 tests near 70,000 miles, the 2024 test close to 75,000 miles, and the 2025 test show incremental, consistent mileage accumulation of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year. This low-mileage profile typically spares the drivetrain and chassis from severe fatigue, though rubber suspension bushes and brake components still require physical inspection due to age-related perishing. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough physical examination of the brake discs, pads, and hydraulic lines, as low-mileage French hatchbacks frequently suffer from surface corrosion on brake components through lack of vigorous use. Inspect the subframe, sills, and lower structural members for rust formation, and check the condition of all four tyres for age-related cracking on the sidewalls despite adequate tread depth. Confirm the operation of the exhaust system and check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay during a cold start to ensure the mechanical health matches the pristine MOT history.
