2002 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · YJ52 DVB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 40,016 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This continued streak of clean passes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical components are currently operating within acceptable parameters despite the older age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,667 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 3,359 miles, showing a consistent pattern of minimal usage with often fewer than 900 miles annually. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake calipers seizing due to long periods of remaining stationary. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Buyers should check for perished rubber parts such as suspension bushes, coil boots, and tyre sidewalls which can dry and crack regardless of tread. Given the age of this 2002 Renault, a thorough check of the chassis and sills for structural corrosion is essential, as MOT tests often only flag surface rust until it reaches a critical failure point.
