2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · Y8 ALK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent test in February 2026 at 77,373 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car is currently in a compliant state. This follows a significant improvement over the failure recorded in July 2022, suggesting that the current owner has addressed critical mechanical faults and is now maintaining the vehicle effectively. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,373 miles averages to approximately 5,952 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. This low usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 2,000 miles covered between August 2024 and February 2026, and approximately 4,600 miles in the preceding year. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension system in person, given the previously fractured offside front coil spring identified in 2022. While that fault was repaired, the age of the vehicle makes the remaining suspension bushes and shocks likely candidates for perish. The record also noted perishing tyres in 2022, which suggests the car may sit for long periods; therefore, a thorough check for sidewall cracking on all tyres is necessary to ensure they are structurally sound despite having sufficient tread depth.
