2005 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · RF55 AAK

The 2022‑08‑13 MOT at 149,193 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle’s current roadworthiness is stable and no immediate mechanical failures were observed. Between the 2021‑08‑13 test at 140,125 miles and the 2022‑08‑12 test at 149,151 miles, the odometer rose by 9,026 miles in roughly eleven months, equating to about 8,200 miles per year, a rate higher than the average 7,104 miles per year for a 21‑year‑old Clio. No further MOT entries exist until the present date, suggesting a possible period of limited use or missing documentation. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear brake calipers, as the high annual mileage places stress on these components. Inspection of the brake discs and pads is advisable, given the frequent use implied by the rapid mileage increase, and a visual assessment of structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches is essential, especially since the vehicle is twenty‑one years old. While the recent pass demonstrates that no critical defects are currently present, the lack of subsequent testing means that hidden wear or corrosion may have developed; a thorough physical inspection covering tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and under‑body rust is required before purchase.
