2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SH59 UVB

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on its MOT history, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 1 March 2022 at 52,492 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, there has been no recorded testing for over four years relative to the current date of 20 July 2026. This gap creates a significant blind spot regarding the current roadworthiness of the car. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 3,088 miles per year. The record shows a period of very light use between December 2018 at 40,744 miles and March 2021 at 44,454 miles. A notable discrepancy appears in December 2020, where the car failed a test at 44,442 miles despite no defects being listed, followed by a pass just three months later with almost no additional mileage. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres. The absence of recent MOT data means the current state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system is unknown. Particular attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. While the history shows no recorded corrosion, the age of the vehicle makes rust a primary risk. A thorough check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a fluid flush are essential given the likely prolonged standing since the 2022 test.
