2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SC57 FWW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test on 20 December 2022 at 94,259 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just four days prior. This suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify issues immediately to meet legal standards, yet the car has consistently cleared the test without long-term advisories over the last three years. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,259 miles reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 8,428 miles driven between December 2020 and December 2021, and another 11,926 miles between 2021 and 2022. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and engine internal components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, brake corrosion, and fluid contamination. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, the sills and wheel arches, as Clio models from this era are prone to corrosion that may not yet have triggered an MOT failure. Given the low usage, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perished rubber. Check the brake system for seized calipers or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to clear the surfaces of surface rust.
