2008 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · WN08 VTP

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by repeated failures immediately preceding successful retests. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on 07 July 2025. This pattern of failing and then passing within the same week occurred again in June and July 2024. While the most recent record is clean, the recurring nature of these failures suggests intermittent issues that require rectification to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 100,183 miles for a 2008 vehicle indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,566 miles. This represents relatively low mileage for an eighteen-year-old car. The MOT data provided covers a three-year period from July 2023 to July 2025, during which the mileage remained consistent with this low-use profile. No significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage are evident within the provided data set. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of components prone to wear in low-mileage vehicles, such as rubber suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres, which can perish or flat-spot from periods of inactivity. Although the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of the failures in 2024 and 2025, the repeated need for remedial work suggests a need to check for recurring mechanical or electrical faults. Inspection of the underside for structural corrosion is also advised given the vehicle's age. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
