2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SA14 AUN

The 2014 Renault Clio presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status, confirmed by its most recent MOT pass on 12 December 2025 at 78,376 miles. The maintenance trend remains consistently positive, with no defects recorded across the entire documented history. A minor anomaly appears in the record where the vehicle failed on 11 December 2025 at 78,367 miles, only to pass the following day with zero defects. This pattern repeats from March 2024, where a failure at 65,464 miles preceded a clean pass at 65,465 miles. Such back-to-back results typically indicate a pre-test rectification or a testing anomaly rather than a recurring mechanical fault, demonstrating that the car currently meets all required safety standards. The recorded mileage of 78,376 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 6,500 miles, which sits squarely within the typical range for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The usage pattern reveals a notable shift in recent years. Between the March 2024 test at 65,465 miles and the December 2024 test at 69,048 miles, the Clio covered just 3,583 miles. However, the subsequent twelve months saw a significant uptick, with the odometer climbing 9,328 miles to reach 78,376 miles by December 2025. This recent increase suggests the vehicle has transitioned from lighter, occasional use to more regular daily driving, a shift that accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Despite the entirely clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components that degrade gradually without triggering immediate test failures. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of deterioration, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody require scrutiny for structural rust, a common issue for vehicles of this age. While the documented history implies diligent basic upkeep, the recent jump in mileage warrants a thorough assessment of the drivetrain and steering geometry to ensure no latent issues have developed under the increased workload.
