2017 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · M33 TBS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed the test carried out on 1 December 2025 at 103,193 miles with no recorded defects. The preceding test on 13 December 2024 at 84,904 miles also passed, but a failure was logged just one mile earlier on the same day for an offside front coil spring fracture. The pattern shows a correction of the serious suspension fault, yet earlier entries reveal recurring tyre and steering issues, indicating a mixed maintenance trajectory. Mileage accumulation aligns with the car’s age, roughly 11,466 miles per year over nine years, but the jump from 84,904 miles in December 2024 to 103,193 miles in December 2025 represents a higher annual rate of about 18,300 miles in eleven months. MOT intervals have been broadly annual, with the most recent gap of just over eleven months, which is within the standard schedule. The record is otherwise clean, with no major defects recorded after the coil‑spring incident. A prospective buyer should inspect the offside front suspension for coil‑spring integrity, check the steering rack for play at the inner joint, and examine the offside front road wheel for distortion. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny, particularly the front tyres and rear tyre for cracking or perishing, and the tyre‑pressure monitoring system should be tested. Brake discs and calipers, though not flagged, merit a visual check due to the high mileage, and the windscreen wiper blades should be replaced given their repeated advisories. Overall, the vehicle presents a generally sound mechanical state after recent corrective work, but the history of suspension and tyre wear suggests that a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is essential to confirm that no latent issues have developed.
