2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW11 ANR

The vehicle holds a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 41,797 miles with no advisories or defects recorded by the tester. Across the five consecutive tests on file, spanning from November 2021 to October 2025, the Renault Clio has returned a clean pass each year, with no failures, minor issues, or advisory notes logged. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, though it is worth recognising that a clean MOT sheet is a minimum legal standard and does not constitute evidence of mechanical excellence or diligent servicing. What the record actually shows is consistent compliance with test criteria, which is a neutral rather than a positive indicator in isolation. Annual mileage is notably low for a vehicle of this vintage. The Clio was first registered in 2011, meaning it is approximately fifteen years old, yet only 41,797 miles are recorded against it, equating to an average of roughly 2,780 miles per year. The test dates themselves reveal very modest accumulation between annual assessments, typically in the low thousands of miles. Low usage of this nature can reduce wear on major drivetrain components but conversely increases the likelihood of dried seals, oxidised brake hydraulics, perished rubber bushes, and corrosion in areas that dry out rather than wash clean. Standing periods also accelerate ageing of coolant, brake fluid, and tyres independent of tread depth. Given the absence of flagged defects in the MOT history, there are no specific component failures or advisories to follow up on from the recorded data. A prospective buyer should nevertheless inspect items that MOT testing does not cover, including clutch operation, gearbox synchros, air conditioning performance, coolant and brake fluid condition, and any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox. Particular attention should be paid to corrosion in the wheel arches, sills, underbody seams, and suspension components, as the Clio is known to suffer from structural rust in later life. A thorough road test to confirm smooth running, even with minimal advisory input in the MOT record, remains advisable.
