2006 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SD06 WHT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 17 February 2025 with 81,684 miles. The recorded history shows a consistent pattern of immediate passes following initial failures on the same day, suggesting that the owner addresses identified defects promptly to maintain legality. No recurring mechanical or structural faults have appeared across the last three successful tests, indicating that primary safety and emissions components have remained within acceptable tolerances during recent inspections. At approximately 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 81,684 miles is remarkably low, averaging just 4,000 miles per annum. The data reveals significant intervals between tests, such as the 11,500-mile gap between the December 2022 test and the January 2024 test, followed by a more rapid 6,000-mile accumulation between January 2024 and February 2025. While the low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of relative inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown which are not fully captured. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the rear subframe and sills, where corrosion is common on this generation of Clio regardless of mileage. Because the car sits for extended periods, the suspension bushes and brake hoses should be checked for cracking or perished rather than simple mechanical wear. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the braking system when stationary.
