2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SH63 YCG

The Renault Clio shows a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 15 October 2025 at 75,761 miles, approximately nine months before the evaluation date of 9 July 2026. Maintenance trend remains stable across the recent test cycle. The vehicle failed the earlier test on 3 October 2025 at 75,756 miles yet the record lists no defects, and a subsequent pass arrived twelve days later with no advisories. A similar pattern occurred in October 2023 when the tester failed the car on 3 October at 63,035 miles with no defects logged, then passed it on 7 October at 63,036 miles. Such repeated no-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical fault, and the consistent clean passes indicate the mechanical condition has not degraded. Odometer readings confirm low annual use for a 2013 hatchback. The climb from 63,035 miles at the start of October 2023 to 68,739 miles by 1 October 2024 represents just 5,704 miles in twelve months. Over the following year to 15 October 2025 the car added 7,022 miles, reaching 75,761. These figures track the approximate 5,828 miles per annum average and show no abrupt accumulation or prolonged gaps beyond normal light commuting. The sparse history with only five entries across three years provides limited depth, but each presented test returned no recorded wear items or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on components prone to deterioration during standing periods. Low mileage and likely extended idle spells raise the risk of perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers and surface corrosion on structural members despite the absence of MOT advisories. The tester noted no exhaust emissions faults or brake disc wear, yet visual checks of subframe integrity and coil springs remain prudent. The dual failed-then-passed sequences imply the previous owner addressed whatever non-mechanical concern arose promptly, reflecting reasonable care albeit with anomalous test submissions.
