2013 RENAULT CLIO D-QUE S M-NAV NRG DCI S/S1.5L Diesel

The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last four consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-12 inspection at 128,821 miles. All tests from 2019 to 2025 show consistent passing results, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No critical issues such as structural corrosion, brake system failures, or exhaust emissions violations were flagged, suggesting the car has been operated within normal parameters. The absence of advisories or major defects implies the vehicle has not experienced significant mechanical degradation in the tested period. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,909 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the 2019-12-04 test (85,760 miles) and the 2022-05-11 test (105,051 miles), spanning 29 months, during which mileage increased by 19,291 miles. This suggests potential periods of reduced activity or inconsistent MOT scheduling. Subsequent tests show steady annual mileage gains, with the 2025 test recording 128,821 miles. The lack of irregularities in the MOT history during this timeframe implies no major mechanical failures occurred despite the extended interval between 2019 and 2022. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual and functional inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially given the car’s age. The exhaust system, while not flagged in MOT records, warrants scrutiny for hidden leaks or rust, as structural integrity can degrade over time. Additionally, the vehicle’s bodyshell should be examined for signs of under-floor corrosion, which may not be evident in MOT reports but could affect long-term reliability.
