2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SD68 JXS

The most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at 45,075 miles ended in a pass with no defects recorded, showing the car satisfied the basic roadworthiness criteria at that time. Looking at the full record the vehicle passed four of five tests without any noted faults, while the lone failure on 19 May 2025 listed no defects, which points to a generally stable maintenance pattern but raises questions about the reliability of that test result. Mileage accrual has been low overall, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year since the car’s first test in May 2022 at 23,998 miles. However the interval between the April 2024 pass at 37,667 miles and the May 2025 fail at 71,102 miles implies an accumulation of over 33,000 miles in about thirteen months, followed by a sudden drop to 45,075 miles on the subsequent pass just two days later, an inconsistency that suggests possible odometer tampering or recording error. Given the absence of recorded mechanical faults, a prospective buyer should verify the true mileage by examining service invoices, MOT certificates and any available repair bills. A physical inspection should focus on areas that often reveal hidden wear despite low odometer readings, such as brake disc thickness, pad wear, suspension bush condition, tyre tread depth and any signs of rust on the underbody or wheel arches.
