2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SG57 SSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on March 31, 2026 at 39,377 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car presented no recorded defects or advisories during the most recent inspection. While the history shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the immediate passes on retest indicate that any identified faults were rectified prior to the final clearance, suggesting a proactive approach to addressing MOT test failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,072 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 37,352 miles and March 2026 at 39,377 miles, the car covered only 2,025 miles over two years. This low rate of use typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components. However, such infrequent usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and tyre sidew, which can perish or rot from age rather than mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and asbody, as low-mileage vehicles from this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given the long intervals between drives, check the brake system for seized calipers or surface-pitted discs which occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres for age cracking, as the tread depth may remain legal while the rubber compound has exceeded its structural life.
