2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SB17 MSY

The 2017 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 24,744 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 8 March 2022 test at 14,357 miles, the car accumulated just 10,387 miles over the following four years, averaging roughly 2,600 miles annually. The 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 tests logged 16,818, 19,478, 22,011 and 24,744 miles respectively, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA record is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs or exhaust emissions concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with the clean MOT history can mask age-related degradation not captured by the annual test. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals may have hardened through limited use and prolonged standing. Brake calipers and handbrake mechanisms can seize when a car covers only short distances, even where the tester recorded no binding. Structural integrity underneath the Clio warrants a ramp check for hidden corrosion around sills and subframes. The absence of recorded advisories reflects only what the tester observed on the day, not a guarantee of component life. Given the gentle annual mileage, expect original consumables such as tyres and wiper blades to be aged rather than worn through distance.
