1995 Renault Clio Williams 2 2.0L Petrol · WIB 3096

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-08 at 97,080 miles confirmed roadworthiness with no defects recorded. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2023 also passed without issues, while the 2022-10-24 test failed but listed no defects. This suggests a stable maintenance trend in recent years, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests indicates the car has been well-maintained, though the 2022 failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s low mileage of 97,080 miles over 31 years equates to approximately 3,132 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. Notably, the 2022-10-24 test recorded 962,636 miles—likely a data entry error, as subsequent tests show 96,681 miles in 2023. Assuming the correct mileage, the gradual increase from 96,681 to 97,080 miles over 18 months reflects minimal usage, reinforcing the need for a thorough inspection of systems prone to degradation during inactivity. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, which may have stiffened due to low mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as low usage can cause corrosion. Structural integrity is not flagged in MOT records, but rust-prone areas like sills and underbody panels warrant attention. The lack of defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern necessitate a professional assessment of its mechanical and corrosion state.
