2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · WN58 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 85,772 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred in October 2023 at 76,548 miles, the immediate re-test pass nine days later suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2008 registration, averaging approximately 4,765 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of use, moving from 71,743 miles in October 2022 to 85,772 miles by September 2025. This consistency suggests predictable usage. While this low mileage often implies less mechanical stress on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the likelihood of age-related rubber degradation and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity or low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade with time regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to identify perished rubber or leaking seals. The chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and mounting points, as these are common failure areas for older Renault Clios. Additionally, checking the brake system for binding calipers or corroded discs will ensure the low usage has not led to excessive oxidation of the braking components.
