2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · E21 WPL

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 16 February 2026 at 88,461 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding tests show a pattern of passes with only minor advisories, indicating the maintenance trend has stabilised and improved after the 2019 failure. The most recent advisory was a slight deterioration of the front registration plate, noted in February 2025, which does not affect roadworthiness. Mileage accumulation has been consistent at roughly 6,800 miles per year over the 13‑year lifespan, which is typical for a Clio of this age. MOT entries are annual and present without significant gaps, the longest interval being twelve months between February 2025 and February 2026. The steady mileage growth suggests regular use rather than prolonged storage. A buyer should inspect the braking system for wear of pads and discs, as the 2020 test flagged thin front pads and pitted discs, and the 2019 failure also recorded front disc wear. The suspension condition merits close examination; the 2019 failure noted an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. Tyre condition is another priority, given the 2020 advisories for rear outer tyres showing cracking and front tyres worn close to the legal limit. Finally, the front registration plate should be checked for deterioration, as the 2025 advisory indicated a risk of misreading.
