2006 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · SY56 WDK

The vehicle achieved a pass on 3 August 2023 at 111,740 miles with no recorded defects. The preceding entry shows a failure on 2 August 2023 at 111,739 miles, also with no defects noted. A similar pattern appears in 2022, where a failure on 26 July at 107,578 miles was followed by a pass two days later at 107,583 miles. The rapid resolution of each failure suggests that any underlying issues were identified and corrected promptly, indicating a stable to improving maintenance regime. Mileage accumulation between tests is minimal: five miles over two days in July 2022 and just one mile between the 2023 failures. Over the vehicle’s life the average wear is roughly 5,600 miles per year, which is low for a 20‑year‑old car. However, the most recent MOT is almost three years old as of 28 July 2026, meaning the vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate and the buyer will need to arrange a fresh test. With no defects logged, the failures likely involved consumables such as brake disc thickness, exhaust gasket leakage, or emission levels that were quickly remedied. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers and disc condition, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, check the exhaust for rust or leaks, and assess tyre tread depth and pressure. The under‑body should be examined for rust pitting, especially around wheel arches and sills, and the battery and fluid levels should be verified. A recent MOT is essential to confirm that any latent wear has not progressed. Overall, the car shows a low‑mileage profile and a pattern of prompt fault correction, but the absence of a current MOT and the age of the vehicle mean a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is critical before purchase.
