2017 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · RS12 DPS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 20 October 2025 at 81,456 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a trend of perfect passes over the last five years. This stability suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard and has avoided significant mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2021 test at 44,198 miles and the 2025 test at 81,456 miles, the car covered 37,258 miles. This steady rate indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which often leads to component perish. The lack of recurring faults or advisories across these intervals implies that the previous owners addressed minor issues before they escalated. While the digital record is flawless, a physical inspection should still focus on components subject to wear at the 80,000-mile mark. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry, specifically the bushes and control arms for signs of cracking, as these often degrade out of sight despite clean MOT results. Checking the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or pitting is advisable, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness precisely. Given the age of the Clio, verifying the chassis for surface corrosion around the wheel arches remains a necessary precaution to ensure long-term structural integrity.
