2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SW61 GGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 10 December 2025. The maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep, as evidenced by a failure just one day prior to that test due to safety defects including a damaged nearside front tyre, a perished offside rear tyre, and an inoperative number lamp. While the defects were addressed immediately to secure a pass, the recurring lighting failures suggest the owner only attends to faults when prompted by testing. At 63,518 miles, this 14-year-old Clio has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent intervals between October 2022 and December 2025, with only 1,207 miles recorded over that three-year period. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the long periods of standing or low mileage often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the tyre issues noted in the record. A buyer must focus specifically on the structural integrity of the lower chassis. The record identifies a persistent pattern of corrosion across critical load-bearing components including the front cross member, the front subframe, and the front radiator support frame. Although the offside front suspension arm was noted as corroded in 2022 without being seriously weakened, the presence of rust on multiple structural points indicates the vehicle is susceptible to oxidation. A thorough physical inspection is required to ensure that the corrosion on the subframe has not progressed into structural perforation, which would result in a failure in future tests.
