2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · AE67 VVF

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a series of passes punctuated by a specific recurring tyre issue and a single historical electronic fault. While the latest inspection on 15 April 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories, the preceding two years showed persistent concerns regarding the offside front tyre, which was flagged for both perishing and inner-edge wear. A major failure in April 2021 regarding an inoperative or malfunctioning engine management light was resolved on the same day, indicating a momentary but significant electronic or sensor fault. The recorded mileage of 61,297 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,811 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a balanced distribution of urban and longer-distance driving. Mechanically, this level of usage implies a standard rate of wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, without the extreme degradation associated with high-mileage fleet use or the stagnation risks linked to prolonged periods of inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the front axle alignment and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The repeated advisories between 2024 and 2025 regarding the offside front tyre, specifically the inner-edge wear, suggest a potential misalignment of the tracking or worn suspension components. During a test drive, feel for any steering pull to one side or a lack of centering in the steering wheel, and inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all front tyres to ensure the previous advisories have been fully addressed. The historical failure of the engine management light requires verification that the vehicle's onboard diagnostics are currently fully operational. Ensure that the MIL illuminates upon ignition and then extinguishes normally, as a bypassed or non-functional warning light would mask current engine malfunctions. Listen for any irregular idling or hesitation under acceleration, which could relate to the sensor or emission issues that typically trigger such faults.
