2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · RO59 KTN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a significant lapse in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 10 December 2021 at 81,782 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior. However, as of June 2026, the vehicle is now over four years overdue for its annual inspection. This long gap in data means the current state of the mechanical and safety components cannot be verified through the historical DVSA record alone. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old Renault, totaling 81,782 miles at an annual average of approximately 4,800 miles. There is a visible surge in usage between April 2019 at 55,205 miles and October 2020 at 72,560 miles, during which the car covered 17,000 miles in eighteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized calipers, and fluid contamination. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension parts. Given the age of the vehicle and low usage, check for corrosion corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points which are common failure areas for this model. The inspector should also examine the suspension bushes and perished rubber seals for cracks due to age rather than distance travelled. Because the last test is several years old, a check of the brake discs for pitting and the condition of tyres is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered during its extended period of inactivity.
