2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · RO59 KTJ

This 2009 Renault Clio currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent annual test on 28 June 2025 at 83,572 miles. The test carried two minor advisory defects: slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The maintenance trend across the last five recorded tests is broadly stable, with no major structural or mechanical failures noted, though minor front suspension wear items have surfaced in the two most recent test cycles after a clean 2024 result. At 17 years old as of June 2026, the vehicle’s recorded mileage of 83,572 equates to an average of roughly 4,916 miles per year, well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation is consistent across all recorded test intervals, with no unexplained gaps or sudden spikes: between the June 2021 test at 70,765 miles and the June 2025 test at 83,572 miles, the vehicle added 12,807 miles over four years, an average of approximately 3,200 miles per year, indicating steady, light use rather than irregular or heavy use. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the front suspension and steering system, as all recorded defects relate to these components. The track rod end and lower suspension arm ball joints flagged in the 2025 test should be checked for excessive play that would require replacement, and the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and their dust covers, marked as severely deteriorated in the 2023 test, should be inspected to confirm they were replaced and have not degraded further. Low annual mileage often correlates with long periods of standing, so additional checks for seized suspension components, perished rubber bushes, and underbody corrosion at suspension mounting points are also advisable, as these are common failure points on 17-year-old vehicles that are not driven regularly.
