2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW60 HSL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 14 January 2025 at 137,208 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three annual inspections suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard. While the record shows initial failures on the same day as the passes in 2023 and 2024, these instances lacked recorded defects, implying that the issues were likely rectified immediately on-site by the testing station or were administrative in nature rather than indicative of chronic mechanical failure. With a total of 137,208 miles accumulated over fifteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,147 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The mileage progression between January 2023 and January 2024 shows an increase of 3,252 miles, followed by a more significant jump of 7,949 miles leading into the January 2025 test. This acceleration in usage suggests the vehicle has remained in active service rather than experiencing long periods of storage, which often helps prevent issues related to seized components or stale fluids. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas that the MOT test may not fully capture, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, which are common failure points for this chassis. Given the age and mileage, verify the integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of corrosion on the subframe or sills that might have been overlooked in previous inspections. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the MOT test confirms functionality but does not guarantee the remaining service life of these consumables. Confirm that the timing belt has been replaced at the manufacturer-recommended intervals, as this remains the most significant mechanical risk for this engine that will not appear on a standard roadworthiness certificate.
