2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AP13 AAX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in May 2026 at 102,207 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving following a period of minor advisories in 2024 and 2025. While previous tests highlighted specific wear, the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed identified faults to bring the car up to current safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over thirteen years. There is a notable gap in records between June 2019 and May 2021, during which the car covered only 7,939 miles. Since 2021, the usage has become more consistent, averaging roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. This steady progression reduces the likelihood of sudden mechanical fatigue on the drivetrain components compared to high-intensity commuting. A buyer should physically inspect the wheels and suspension components specifically, given the history of rim-related issues. The record shows a distorted nearside front bead rim in 2016, a distorted inner road wheel edge in 2021, and low-wearing front tyres in 2024. These faults suggest a history of hitting potholes or curbs, which can stress the suspension bushings and control arms. Additionally, the corroded offside front brake pipe noted in 2025 warrants a visual check to ensure the line was replaced properly and that further corrosion is not spreading along the braking system.
