2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · RV12 PYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 8 April 2026 at 32,914 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the car is mechanically sound according to official DVSA standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 2,351 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 30,927 miles and the April 2026 test at 32,914 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,987 miles over two years. This suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than use. Check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential seizure in the brake calipers. The low mileage and lack of recorded defects suggest a well-preserved example, but the absence of any advisories over several years is unusual for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the fluid levels and condition. Verify that the battery and tyres are fresh, as these consumables often fail on low-use vehicles regardless of the mileage. Ensure the engine runs smoothly from a cold start to confirm that long periods of standing have not caused internal deposits or fuel system stagnation.
