2008 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · YR08 SFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent February 2026 test at 44,081 miles. While the car suffered a failure in February 2025 at 43,736 miles, the issue was rectified immediately, resulting in a pass the following day. The lack of advisories across the last three tests suggests that the current owner is reactive to mechanical requirements and maintains the vehicle to a consistent standard of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 2,450 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered only 1,218 miles, indicating very light use or significant periods of inactivity. While this low mileage limits mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues that do not show up on a standard MOT record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish over time rather than distance. Given the age, check for cracked suspension bushes, split brake hoses, and perished wiper blades, as these degrade regardless of mileage. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and wing arches, as the Clio models from this era are prone to rust if stored in damp environments. Examine the tyres for flat spotting or cracking, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
