2012 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · WM12 DLX

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness status with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 4 November 2025 at 24,953 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect passes since 2021. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures typically seen in aging motorists. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,782 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 2,106 miles, representing a negligible increase of roughly 500 to 600 miles per annum. While this low usage limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such infrequent operation often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and internal fluid acidity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. Check for dry sidewall rot on the tyres and perished wiper blades or suspension bushes, as these elements often fail due to standing stationary. The tester should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by infrequent use, and verify that the calipers are not seized. Ensuring the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust is vital, though the record shows no history of significant corrosion issues to date.
