2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SV09 XFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 2 October 2024 at 113,673 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While the record shows minor failures in both 2023 and 2024, the immediate re-tests passed, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle legal. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 113,673 miles averages out to approximately 6,687 miles per year. This aligns with typical light usage for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between October 2022 and November 2023, and another 8,100 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the premature degradation of seals and seizing of brake components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, corrosion is common on the Clio's sills and rear suspension mounting points, even if the MOT has not yet flagged structural rust. The buyer should also check rubber bushes and control arms for cracking or tearing, as these perish over time regardless of the distance driven. The lack of advisories in the recent records suggests the mechanical components are currently in sufficient condition for operation.
