RENAULT CLIO2018 · 0.9L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following several reactive repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 44,632 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical and tyre issues have been addressed. This shift from failures in the preceding year to a clean pass suggests the current owner is willing to rectify safety defects once identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 5,800 miles covered in the following year. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and tyres if the car sits stationary for long periods between services. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front-end suspension due to the recurring failure related to the offside front coil spring which was found fractured in December 2023 at 34,759 miles. The buyer should check for signs of premature wear or perished rubber in the suspension bushes, as the record shows multiple instances of tyre cracking and damage across 2023 and 2024. Given the history of tyre-related failures on the offside front, the remaining tread and structural integrity of all four tyres should be verified to ensure no hidden ply damage remains despite the low mileage.
