2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW10 EXS

The 2010 Renault Clio has a recent MOT history showing alternating pass and fail results without recorded defects. The most recent entry on 2024-04-25 (82,308 miles) was a pass, but a prior test on 2024-04-22 (82,307 miles) failed. This pattern of repeated failures and passes, with no defects listed, raises concerns about the reliability of the MOT process or potential underlying issues not captured in the records. The vehicle’s mileage of 82,308 miles for a 16-year-old car is unusually low, averaging 5,144 miles annually. This suggests either light usage or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation such as battery drain, tire flat spots, or fluid stagnation. However, the absence of defect reports in the MOT history limits direct evidence of wear-related problems. The trend in MOT outcomes is unclear due to the lack of defect details. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the repeated failures without recorded issues indicate a possible systemic problem, such as inconsistent testing or unaddressed mechanical faults. Buyers should investigate why the vehicle continues to fail MOTs despite no defects being noted. The low mileage relative to age implies the car may have been stored for long periods, increasing the risk of hidden issues like corroded components, worn seals, or degraded rubber parts.
