2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SA14 ADX

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 19 September 2025 at 68,026 miles. While the record shows a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage, the subsequent pass without recorded defects suggests a minor rectified issue was addressed immediately before the successful test. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits during recent inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,669 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 8,896 miles between the February 2023 test at 58,575 miles and the February 2024 test at 67,471 miles, suggesting a period of higher usage followed by more recent lower driving patterns. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than high mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, as these often fail when vehicles sit stationary. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or seizing, as low-use vehicles are prone to lateral corrosion. Since the MOT history shows no structural rust to date, a thorough check of the sills and floor pans remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the clean test results.
