2017 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · R20 LAH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT pass on 10 December 2025 at 19,961 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improvement after a period of recurring issues in late 2024. While the car previously failed a test due to wiper and brake issues, the most recent inspection indicates that these specific faults were addressed and the vehicle has returned to a clean testing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,218 miles per year. Between 2019 and 2021, the car maintained a clean record with no defects, suggesting very light use or extended storage. However, the interval between 2022 and 2025 shows a steady increase in usage, with the vehicle covering roughly 7,100 miles over those three years. This consistently low mileage often leads to age-related degradation on components that are not used frequently enough to clear away moisture or surface oxidation. A buyer must pay close attention to the front braking system, as the record shows pitted and scored nearside and offside front brake discs in four consecutive years from 2022 to 2024. This persistent issue is typical of low-mileage cars that sit for long periods, allowing rust to corrode the metal surfaces. You should verify that the discs were actually replaced after the 2024 failure rather than merely cleaned. The minor exhaust leak noted in 2023 should also be inspected to ensure the manifold or exhaust piping has not developed structural corrosion due to time and moisture.
