1995 RENAULT CLIO1.8L Petrol

The Renault Clio has passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 with 74,061 miles on the clock, although the tester did note a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorbers and slight corrosion on the offside floor pan. This test result suggests a stable maintenance trend, with the vehicle passing its last two tests without major defects. However, a closer examination of the MOT history reveals recurring issues with the vehicle's braking and suspension systems. The mileage pattern for this vehicle is remarkably low, with an average annual mileage of approximately 2,389 miles over the past 31 years. This is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light use or long periods of standing. The MOT history shows a few notable gaps in testing, including a period between 2016 and 2017, but overall the data is relatively sparse. The vehicle has had a few rapid mileage accumulations, including a 2,542-mile increase between 2015 and 2016, and a 3,133-mile increase between 2017 and 2018, but these are not unusual for a vehicle of this age. Buyers should be aware that the vehicle has a history of issues with its braking system, including worn brake pads and damaged brake hoses. The suspension system has also been flagged for excessive wear, with a worn lower suspension arm ball joint and excessive movement at the upper attachment of the nearside front Macpherson strut. In addition, the vehicle has shown signs of corrosion on the offside floor pan and rear body, which should be inspected carefully to assess the extent of the damage. The vehicle also had a faulty anti-lock braking system warning lamp in 2021, which should be checked to ensure it is functioning correctly.
