2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · ST12 BFX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 November 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing following an initial failure, suggesting that minor administrative or technical issues were rectified promptly during the testing window. The absence of advisories across the last three annual inspections points to a well-maintained vehicle that has not suffered from chronic mechanical neglect or recurring component failure. The recorded mileage of 32,119 miles over a fourteen-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,294 miles per annum. A significant discrepancy appears in the 2023 record, which lists 85,869 miles, followed by a sharp drop to 29,563 miles in the 2024 test. This inconsistency suggests a clerical error in the 2023 data entry rather than a genuine reduction in the vehicle's odometer reading. Prospective buyers should verify the service history documentation to reconcile this mileage anomaly and confirm the actual usage profile of the car. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from issues related to prolonged periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, or internal corrosion within the exhaust system. While the recent clean MOT passes are encouraging, you should physically inspect the condition of the brake discs for surface rust and check the tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking due to age. Ensure the timing belt has been replaced based on time intervals rather than mileage, as the rubber components will have degraded regardless of the low distance covered.
