2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · WP57 BVL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 129,386 miles. While a failure occurred just three days prior to this pass at 129,354 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car has secured consecutive clean passes without recorded advisories or recurring faults over the last four years. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,188 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered 3,568 miles, showing a very steady rate of use. The jump of 7,632 miles between March 2023 and February 2025 indicates a slight increase in usage but remains within typical parameters. Low annual mileage generally mitigates wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can increase the risk of rubber perished and fluid degradation over time. Given the absence of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this generation of Clio that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Prioritize checking the structural integrity of the wheel arches and sills for corrosion, as rust often develops between tests. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as the lack of recorded brake binding issues does not guarantee the condition of the brake discs or the thickness of the remaining linings.
