2004 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · RE04 FOP

The 2004 Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 8 December 2023 at 139,481 miles returned a pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle entered 2024 in sound mechanical condition. This clean run spans four prior consecutive passes, indicating the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA testers without flagged wear or corrosion. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,340 miles per year against the recorded 139,481 miles. The records show gentle, consistent use: 127,307 miles on 30 November 2019 rose to 129,151 by 27 November 2020, then 131,866 in November 2021, 135,495 in October 2022, and 139,481 in December 2023. No gap exceeds thirteen months and no year added more than 4,000 miles, so the history reveals no standing periods or abrupt high-use spikes that typically accelerate suspension bush and brake disc degradation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as a clean MOT sheet on an ageing hatchback does not guarantee absence of latent rust in sills or subframes. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, yet components at this mileage warrant hands-on checks of suspension bushes and brake condition. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, previous ownership appears disciplined on basic upkeep rather than neglectful. Verify service history matches the low annual accumulation, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper blades during viewing, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect capture until worn beyond limits.
