2005 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · RF55 CZY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT results. On 30 January 2023 at 98,442 miles, the Clio passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a compliant condition during its last inspection. While the record shows immediate failures on that same day in 2023, the subsequent pass suggests the owner addressed the necessary issues promptly to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,688 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 21,869 miles between the January 2021 test at 55,301 miles and the January 2022 test at 77,170 miles, followed by another 21,272 miles leading into the 2023 test. This consistent usage suggests regular operation, though low annual mileage often masks the degradation of rubber components and seals that occur through age rather than distance. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage cars of this era often suffer from corrosion in the sills and subframe members. Given that the vehicle has gone over three years since its last recorded test in January 2023, the current MOT is expired and the mechanical state of the brakes and suspension bushes remains unverified. Check for perished brake hoses and seized calipers, as these are common points of failure on vehicles that sit for long periods or see light annual use.
