2012 Renault Clio 1.5L Petrol · PN12 LLE

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 58,667 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A peculiar administrative pattern appears in the record: on both 2 April 2026 and 24 March 2025 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileages, yet the failure entries list no defects. This suggests clerical or submission errors at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical rejection. The odometer shows 54,691 miles at the 26 March 2024 test, rising to 57,357 miles by 24 March 2025 and 58,667 miles by 2 April 2026. That equates to roughly 1,300 miles in the first interval and 1,310 in the second, against a lifetime average near 4,190 miles per year. The car has covered very low annual distances for a 14-year-old vehicle. Such limited use, paired with the same-day fail/pass anomalies, implies a lightly driven car that may have spent extended periods stationary between tests. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion items appear anywhere in the MOT data. The clean sheet means the record itself gives no evidence of worsening wear or recurring consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe, as standing vehicles of this age commonly develop hidden rust the MOT did not capture. Given the sparse and fault-free history, the prudent step is a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewall condition, brake binding after a road run, and fluid contamination. The low mileage and zero advisories point to gentle ownership, but the twin same-day failures warrant confirming with the DVSA that no suppressed defect exists on file.
