2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AE15 XKB

The 2015 Renault Clio presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 15 October 2025 at 120,159 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle passed its most recent test without any advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the core systems currently meet roadworthiness standards. However, the record shows a recurring pattern of failed tests immediately preceding clean passes, such as the failure on 14 October 2025 at 120,136 miles and the failure on 18 October 2024 at 110,067 miles. Despite these failures, no defects were officially recorded in the supplied data for those specific tests, which suggests either administrative anomalies or aborted tests rather than unresolved mechanical issues. The maintenance trajectory remains stable, with the car consistently returning to a roadworthy state for its annual assessments. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,924 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 97,102 miles and the October 2024 test at 110,200 miles, the Clio covered 13,098 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. Mileage accumulation then slowed significantly, with only 9,959 miles added between October 2024 and the most recent test in October 2025. The minimal mileage increase of just 23 miles between the failed test on 14 October 2025 and the pass on 15 October 2025 confirms the vehicle was likely stationary or used very sparingly during that 24-hour window. Given the absence of recorded defects or advisories in the official history, the MOT record offers no specific recurring mechanical faults to target, such as suspension bush degradation, binding brake calipers, or exhaust emissions failures. A buyer should still approach the inspection with a focus on high-mileage consumables and structural integrity. Examine the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of corrosion or weakness, typical of a Renault Clio of this age. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and inspect the underbody and suspension mounting points for structural rust. Tyre condition and tread depth warrant close scrutiny, as the lack of recorded tyre advisories does not preclude current wear. A thorough in-person inspection remains essential to verify the mechanical condition that the sparse MOT data does not explicitly detail.
