2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SL60 KXB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate reactive maintenance. The most recent test on 11 July 2023 at 97,741 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just four days prior at 97,740 miles. This sequence suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify immediate failures to ensure compliance, rather than allowing faults to persist across multiple testing cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-intensity usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the June 2021 test at 80,654 miles and the June 2022 test at 92,973 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles, representing a period of higher-than-average usage. This dropped to under 5,800 miles in the following year, indicating a significant reduction in annual use which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes due to age. While the records show no recurring structural or major mechanical failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension system and braking components. Given the age of the 2010 Clio, check for corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounts, as these are common weak points for this generation. The failures in 2022 and 2023, without specific defect descriptions in the summary, often imply minor consumable issues like bulbs or wiper blades, but a physical check should verify that the brake discs are not excessively pitted and the calipers not binding. As it has been nearly three years since the last recorded MOT in July 2023, the vehicle is currently overdue for its test and requires an immediate inspection to confirm its current roadworthiness.
