2002 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · WK02 ORA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 15 January 2025 at 66,083 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just the previous day at the same mileage. This sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a quickly fixable item that was rectified immediately, as the overall mechanical and structural integrity met DVSA standards across the last four tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,753 miles per year. Between February 2021 and January 2025, the car covered only 5,852 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low usage profile generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it introduces risks regarding the degradation of rubber-based parts. While the record is clean of high-mile failures, the long gaps between tests suggest the vehicle may not have been subjected to regular road use that keeps seals and lubricated. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related fatigue rather than mileage wear. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for perished suspension bushes, split rubber boots, and aged tyres that may crack despite having deep tread. The braking system requires close examination for corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as stationary vehicles often develop surface rust. Additionally, a thorough check of the chassis sills and wheel arches is necessary, as older Renault models from this era are prone to structural decay regardless of how many miles they have clocked.
