2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SA63 EYW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 May 2022 at 103,352 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the previous owner maintained the car to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical or safety failures. However, because no test has been recorded for nearly four years, the current state of roadworthiness is technically unverified and an immediate inspection is required to identify any degradation since that date. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the 2017 test at 51,231 miles and the 2022 test at 103,352 miles, the car covered 52,000 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows an increase of 15,005 miles, which aligns with the historical average and suggests no unnecessary strain on the drivetrain or suspension components. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the available history, a buyer must focus on components that age over time regardless of mileage. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of rubber suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these often crack over a decade even with low use. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as the clean record does not account for the development of surface rust in the four-year gap since the last official test.
