2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SA14 AEC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 16 October 2025 at 108,773 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. In both October 2024 and October 2025, the car failed its initial test but passed just few days later after repairs were made. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT defects once flagged by the tester, rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation of mileage, with 15,297 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 15,245 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regular usage indicates the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and mechanical seals to prevent dry rot or seizing. While the most recent test showed no recorded advisories, a buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system and braking components. Given the age and mileage, wear on control arm bushes, coil spring fatigue, and thinning of the brake discs is common. The buyer should also check for early signs of corrosion on the underbody sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only flags structural rust once it reaches a specific depth threshold. The history of recent failures may imply that specific components were nearing the end of their service life, so a close look at fluid leaks and tyre integrity is warranted.
