2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW07 MKL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent test on 30 January 2025 at 103,359 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a narrow failure just one day prior. This pattern suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying minor issues immediately to ensure a pass. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances to date. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,440 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the November 2022 test at 92,609 miles and the January 2024 test at 98,602 miles, representing only 6,000 miles over fourteen months. While low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. The data accumulation is steady and predictable, suggesting light use rather than heavy commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the rear sills and suspension mounting points, where corrosion is common in this Renault generation regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the low usage necessitates a check of brake lines and suspension bushes, which may have perished due to age rather than wear. Examining the brake discs for surface rust pitting is also advisable, as vehicles that sit infrequently often suffer from light oxidation on the braking surfaces.
