2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SH09 XBS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 89,571 miles passed, the vehicle failed immediately prior due to a non-functional horn and mechanical-related defects. The persistence of a minor exhaust leak at the rear silencer, which has been noted across multiple 2025 and 2026 tests, suggests that this issue is being ignored despite being a recurring failure point. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,571 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,269 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant gap in usage; the car covered only 14 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and just 113 miles between June 2025 and March 2026. This extremely low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids, which is consistent with the corrosion issues seen in the inspection records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking and fuel delivery systems. The history shows chronic corrosion on the rear brake pipes and offside fuel pipes dating back to 2024, which poses a structural risk if rust.
