2011 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · YH61 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-02-03 at 96,706 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-01-22 at the same mileage resulted in a failure despite no defects being logged, suggesting potential data inconsistency or minor non-technical issues. The 2023-12-29 test at 95,137 miles also passed without defects, while the 2022-12-06 tests (both at 81,225 miles) showed one pass and one failure with no recorded defects. This pattern implies intermittent testing activity rather than a clear mechanical decline, though the lack of defect details limits definitive analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,706 miles over 15 years equates to roughly 6,447 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A significant gap exists between the 2022-12-06 test (81,225 miles) and the 2023-12-29 test (95,137 miles), with 13,912 miles added over 12 months, followed by just 1,571 miles in the subsequent 18 months. This irregularity may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, brake system, or suspension bushes. The absence of recurring defects in passing tests suggests no systemic issues, but the sparse data limits confidence in long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, given the age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to potential corrosion or wear from infrequent use. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity should be checked, as older vehicles may develop rust or leaks. The lack of defect records in failed tests means physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT data.
