Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Renault Clio passed its most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 113,073 miles, but the test one day earlier failed on a fractured offside rear coil spring, non-functioning windscreen washer, and two tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. The November 2025 pass carries six minor advisories for slight play in front suspension arm and anti-roll bar ball joints plus worn-but-not-excessive front brake discs. The maintenance trend is worsening: structural spring failure and repeated tyre neglect now sit alongside accumulating front-end wear that the tester has tracked since 2024. Recorded mileage rose from 104,673 in the November 2023 failure to 110,875 by November 2024, then to 113,073 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, typical for a 15-year-old car. The 2023 test showed a clean pass on 7 December after a 27 November failure on two illegal tyres, and no major gaps appear in the sequence. The owner kept annual testing disciplined, yet the November 2023 and November 2025 failures on tyre tread, plus the 2025 broken coil spring, suggest basic consumable and suspension upkeep was skipped between tests. A buyer should inspect the front suspension thoroughly. The November 2024 test flagged slight play in both lower arms, track rod end, and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar dust cover; by November 2025 the ball joint play had spread to both anti-roll bars and persisted in the arms. Confirm whether the fractured offside rear coil spring was replaced as a pair and check the opposite spring for fatigue. The front brake discs showed pitting in 2024 and wear in 2025, with inner pads noted thin; measure disc runout and pad depth on both sides. Verify the windscreen washer operates and assess the screen chip recorded in 2024. The 2024 oil leak was classed not excessive, but trace its source given the mileage. Rear tyres wore on the inner edge with a cut noted in 2024, pointing to possible rear alignment deviation that should be checked with the suspension work.
