2017 RENAULT CLIO PLAY1.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT, dated 5 September 2024, was a clean pass at 95,216 mi – no defects were recorded. The previous test, on 17 April 2023, also passed with no defects at 86,846 mi. With two consecutive MOTs showing no advisories, the vehicle’s mechanical condition appears stable rather than deteriorating. At roughly nine years old, the recorded mileage of 95,216 mi works out to about 10,600 mi per year. This is close to the average annual mileage for a car of this age, suggesting neither extreme abuse nor prolonged periods of inactivity. The figure does not point to excessive wear on high‑stress components, but it also does not guarantee that consumables such as brakes, suspension bushes or the timing belt are untouched – mileage alone cannot confirm their condition. Because the MOT history is limited to two entries, there is little data to identify a longer‑term trend. However, the lack of any recorded failures across the two most recent tests indicates that, at least in the last 18 months, the car has not developed any emerging safety or major reliability issues. What to check in person - Inspect the brakes (pads, discs, and operation) for wear and any uneven scoring, as mileage of this size typically means the brakes have been used several times. - Look at the suspension components (mounts, bushings, shock absorbers) for signs of leaking fluid or looseness, especially if the car has been driven on rough roads.
