2009 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · ST09 WPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2024 with 139,901 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2023 and 2024, the final clean sheet suggests the owner addressed any necessary repairs prior to retesting. The lack of recorded advisories on the December 2024 test indicates that the mechanical and structural components were functioning within legal tolerances, though this only reflects a snapshot at the time of the inspection. At 139,901 miles over a 17-year lifespan, the Clio averages approximately 8,230 miles per annum. This usage is consistent with typical low-to-mid range city driving patterns. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 16,800 miles covered between December 2022 and November 2023, and another 8,000 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Renault-specific wear points for this age and mileage. Although the MOT history does not list recurring mechanical faults, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and subframe is essential. Given the high total mileage, inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of play, and check the brake discs for excessive thinning. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres and the tread depth, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these consumable items unless they reach the legal minimum threshold.
