1997 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · R595 ACV

The Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 29 June 2022 at 64,878 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The record shows two paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates in 2021 and 2022, both at identical mileages with no defects listed, which points to administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. No advisories or faults appear against suspension, brakes, exhaust, or structure at any stage. The odometer sat at 58,339 miles for the July 2020 pass, rose to 62,423 miles by June 2021, and reached 64,878 miles by June 2022. That is roughly 2,200 miles per year across a 29-year-old car, confirming very light use. The sparse three-year span of tests shows no rapid accumulation and no gaps beyond the standard annual cycle, so the data gives a clean but limited view of wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 1997 hatchback left standing for long periods is prone to hidden rust despite clean MOT lines. The tester recorded no binding calipers, worn bushes, or failing coil springs, yet standing vehicles often develop seized brake components and perished rubber that a short test may not expose. Verify the actual reason for the same-day fail and pass entries with DVLA paperwork before purchase.
