2009 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SP09 ULF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 February 2025 with 126,995 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day in consecutive years, the current record suggests that any identified defects are being rectified promptly. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2025 test indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standards without outstanding mechanical or structural concerns noted. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 126,995 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,470 miles. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for an older city hatchback, which generally limits excessive wear on the drivetrain and engine. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 3,250 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and approximately 8,700 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025. This regularity suggests regular driving habits rather than long periods of stagnation that cause component degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to a Renault of this age and mileage. Although the MOT record is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at structural corrosion on the sills, subframe, and rear suspension mounting points. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for play or cracking, as these often show wear before triggering a formal MOT failure. Given the consistent mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads remains essential to ensure the mechanical maintenance matches the clean digital test results.
