2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW07 MKM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The test conducted on 26 October 2023 at 88,004 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a technically sound condition at that time. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to 2020, suggesting that the previous owners have generally maintained basic roadworthiness requirements without a history of recurring mechanical failures. At 88,004 miles over 19 years, the Clio has averaged approximately 4,600 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average and suggests low-intensity usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with only about 4,100 miles covered between November 2021 and October 2023. The single failure on 11 November 2022 was immediately rectified by a pass on the same day, indicating a minor issue that was addressed quickly rather than a systemic pattern of neglect. Despite the clean record, the low mileage necessitates a physical inspection for age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. Rubber components such as brake fluid hoses, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls perish over time when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should specifically check the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for rust, as Renault models of this era are prone to hidden corrosion over two decades. Since the last recorded test was in October 2023, the vehicle is now overdue for its MOT, and a fresh inspection is required to ensure no new defects or fluid leaks have developed in the last twenty months.
