2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SB68 EFV

The roadworthiness status of this vehicle is currently valid following the test on February 27, 2026, at 28,357 miles, which recorded a clean pass with no defects noted. This follows an improving maintenance trajectory after a notable failure in March 2024 when the nearside front shock absorber suffered a serious fluid leak. That failure required immediate rectification before a subsequent pass was issued on the same day. The overall history shows a transition from minor weather-related notes in March 2023 regarding frozen screenwashers to clean test sheets in 2025 and 2026. The recorded mileage stands at 28,357 miles across an age of approximately eight years, equating to an average of roughly 3,545 miles per year. This low annual mileage indicates light use and a restricted operational profile. The MOT timeline shows consistent annual testing intervals without extended gaps between examinations. Testing occurred on March 11, 2023, March 16, 2024, March 15, 2025, and February 27, 2026, confirming regular statutory compliance despite the low overall distance covered. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension assembly, specifically verifying the condition of both front shock absorbers, road springs, and associated top mounts given the previous hydraulic failure on the nearside unit. Buyers must also inspect the condition of braking components, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on brake discs and potential caliper binding due to infrequent heavy braking applications. Checking the auxiliary drive belts and inspecting the underbody for any signs of premature environmental degradation remains prudent since low-usage vehicles can accumulate stagnant moisture in specific mechanical crevices.
