2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AF14 HBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 119,822 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable pattern of immediate rectification, as the car failed in both 2025 and 2026 but passed upon subsequent re-testing within the same month. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests suggests the current or previous owner is proactive in addressing mechanical failures rather than allowing faults to accumulate into major defects. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant jump of 19,972 miles between March 2024 (79,113 miles) and March 2025 (99,085 miles), followed by another 20,737 miles leading into the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal seals from drying or brake components from seizing due to lack of use. While the record is clean of persistent advisories, the buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the mileage exceeds 110,000 miles, check for worn wish arm bushes, perished dampers, and coil springs which are common points of failure on this model. The MOT record does not highlight structural corrosion, but a close inspection of the sills and rear mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden rust is developing that the tester has not yet flagged.
