2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AP18 AED

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 34,603 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or critical failures reinforces a reliable mechanical state, though low mileage may mask certain wear patterns. The mileage progression shows an irregular but gradual increase, with 16,730 miles in 2021, rising to 34,603 by 2025. A notable jump of 7,461 miles between 2021 and 2022 contrasts with smaller annual increments thereafter. This could reflect variable usage or potential storage periods, though no anomalies were flagged in the MOT records. The low average of 4,325 miles per year for an eight-year-old vehicle suggests infrequent operation, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers if not regularly exercised. A physical inspection should focus on dry-rot risk in rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, due to low mileage. Check for corrosion in underbody areas, particularly if the car was parked for extended periods. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper movement, as stagnant use can cause binding. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, the lack of high-mileage wear does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase check of mechanical integrity and fluid levels.
