RENAULT CLIO2014 · 0.9L Petrol

The Renault Clio shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 99,545 miles. The DVSA record lists a failure on that same date carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage, indicating a procedural retry or an undocumented minor correction rather than ongoing mechanical fault. Across the five tests from October 2022 to October 2025 the vehicle cleared each examination without advisories, so the upkeep pattern is consistent and not worsening. Mileage accumulation matches typical use for a twelve-year-old hatchback. The odometer read 78,901 miles at the 29 October 2022 test, rose to 86,765 miles on 28 October 2023, then 94,044 miles on 11 October 2024, and reached 99,545 miles on 17 October 2025. Annual distances eased from roughly 7,900 miles to about 5,500 miles in the last interval, showing lighter recent use. No extended gaps appear in the testing cycle, and the keeper maintained yearly discipline. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components. The tester noted no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear across the history, but rubber and structural elements degrade with time irrespective of mileage. Examine the subframe for rust, check front suspension arms for perished bushes, and measure brake disc thickness. The twin 17 October 2025 entries imply the previous keeper resolved any isolated non-conformance swiftly, reflecting reasonable care rather than neglected basics.
