2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AF15 OCX

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 November 2025 at 73,450 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its test after a failed attempt two days earlier on 3 November 2025 at the same mileage, though the failure listed no specific defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car, averaging around 6,677 miles per year against the 73,450 miles recorded. The records show 65,305 miles on 23 October 2023, rising to 65,459 miles a week later on 30 October 2023 after a retest pass, then 69,893 miles by 23 October 2024 and 73,450 miles by November 2025. Gaps between tests are roughly annual with no sudden accumulation, and the clean advisories across all passes indicate no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items despite the absent advisories. The twin 2023 and 2025 fail-pass pairs at identical mileages suggest the car stood unused between booking and retest, so check for seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, or degraded fluids from periods of inactivity. Examine exhaust emissions and underbody for hidden rust the test did not record. Given the sparse but clean record, verify service history and confirm the 2025 failure cause with the testing station. The Clio shows no recurring fault trend, yet a used buyer should not rely on a defect-free MOT alone for assurance on an older vehicle.
