2006 Renault Clio 1.4L Petrol · WN56 APV

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 31 July 2024 at 92,168 miles. The record shows a clean history of passes with no defects or advisories noted across multiple years. A failure occurred on 26 July 2024, but the lack of recorded defects for that specific entry suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately before the pass five days later. The mileage is low for a twenty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,608 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2022 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 78,954 to 92,168 miles. This indicates the car covered over 13,000 miles in approximately 18 months, a sharp increase compared to the 5,186 miles covered between May 2021 and May 2022. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the low overall mileage and periods of potential inactivity raise specific concerns. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, often perish due to age rather than wear, so these should be checked for cracking. The absence of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. You should specifically examine the chassis and sills for structural rust, as the MOT record does not highlight any corrosion issues. Verifying the service history is essential to ensure the oil and filters were changed during the low-use periods to prevent internal engine sludge.
