2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SV57 UFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning progression of structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 26,190 miles, this followed a failure just ten days prior due to significant defects including an ABS fault and excessive wear. The recurrence of corrosion across the suspension and sub-frame indicates that the vehicle is suffering from age-related environmental damage despite its low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,378 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered only 1,208 miles in a full year. While this low mileage explains the relatively low wear on certain components, long periods of standing have likely contributed to the accelerated deterioration of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on the artworkwork, which is now evident in the recorded history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame and front x-member, as these have been flagged for corrosion in multiple tests between 2024 and 2025. The persistent system warning lamp requires professional diagnostic testing, as it has been a failure point in two consecutive years. Furthermore, the suspension system, specifically ball joints and shock absorbers, should be checked for signs of play or leakage, as the record confirms a history of excessive wear and external damage that may continue to worsen.
