MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Renault Clio (R574 DGY) between July 2006 and May 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (26 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (15 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 73 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength inner ar”; “Offside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (”; “Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced inner sill (7.1.1 (a) (i)”.
