YS15 AEP MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Renault Clio (YS15 AEP) between July 2024 and January 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 30 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Headlamp aim unable to be tested (4.1.2 (b))”; “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.

Our Verdict
Approach this 2015 Renault Clio with measured caution and budget for immediate consumables. The recent clean MOT is reassuring, but the 2025 failures show a pattern of neglected tyres, brakes, and lighting that warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
When viewing this Clio, prioritise evidence of recent rectification work. The June 2025 failure listed nearside and offside front tyres below 1.6mm, an offside rear tyre worn on the edge, thin front brake pads, low brake fluid, and an offside front headlamp aim fault — all cleared two days later, so ask for invoices proving new tyres, pads, fluid, and headlamp alignment were carried out properly rather than hastily. Given the July 2024 failure for rear service brake binding on both sides (cleared the same day with advisories retained), confirm the brakes are now free and not dragging, as binding can accelerate wear and reduce economy. Request the full service history; the 899cc TCe engine is sensitive to oil level and cambelt intervals, and the MOT record alone does not confirm routine maintenance.
The 899cc three-cylinder petrol engine in this Clio is among the cheaper units to run, with real-world economy typically in the high 40s to low 50s mpg and a small insurance group suited to new or budget-conscious drivers. Road tax for a 2015 sub-1.0-litre petrol should fall in the lower bands, likely around £20-£35 per year depending on emissions classification. Routine maintenance is inexpensive, but the MOT history shows tyres and brakes have needed attention at roughly 60k-80k miles, so set aside for consumables; estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance is approximately £900-£1,150.
Inspect the front tyres closely despite the 2025 pass — the June 2025 test found both fronts below the 1.6mm legal limit and the offside rear worn on the edge, so verify tread is even and above 3mm for safety margin. Check brake fluid level and front pad thickness yourself or via a mechanic, as the 2025 failure cited fluid close to minimum and pads wearing thin; also confirm the offside front headlamp now aims correctly after the 'obviously incorrect' and 'unable to test' findings. Look underneath for the undertrays noted in 2024 that obscured testable components, and have the rear brakes checked for any residual binding from the 2024 advisories, as this can cause uneven wear and overheating.
This red 899cc petrol Renault Clio (YS15AEP), first registered in May 2015, has covered 82,397 miles as of its January 2026 MOT pass. Its history shows two failed tests in 2024 and 2025, both centred on tyres, brake condition, and headlamp aim, though it has since passed with no defects recorded. The 2024 advisories for rear brake binding and the 2025 brake fluid and pad warnings suggest intermittent maintenance rather than chronic structural issues. Without model aggregate data, the assessment rests solely on this vehicle's own MOT record and current mileage.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio to provide a model-wide reputation baseline; this assessment relies entirely on the individual vehicle's test history.
