2007 Renault Clio Campus 8V 1.1L Petrol · AP57 KUX

This Renault Clio demonstrates a stable trend of roadworthiness, culminating in a clean pass on 23 May 2026 with no defects recorded. While the vehicle has maintained a clear record for the past two years, its history reveals a period of suspension wear between 2023 and 2024, indicating a phase of component fatigue that has since been addressed to meet safety standards. An accumulation of 137,113 miles over nineteen years reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,216 miles per annum. This level of mileage is typical for the vehicle's age, suggesting that the drivetrain and chassis have been subject to regular, moderate wear rather than the degradation associated with prolonged standing or the extreme stress of high-mileage commercial use. Attention should be directed toward the front suspension system, specifically the nearside front corner where a worn suspension arm ball joint required replacement in early 2024 and a shock absorber was noted for oil misting in 2023. During a test drive, the driver should listen for any knocking or clicking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or during low-speed steering manoeuvres, which could indicate further deterioration of the suspension bushes or linkages. It is also advisable to verify the current condition of the front shock absorbers to ensure the previously noted oil misting has not progressed to a full leak, which would manifest as excessive bouncing or a lack of composure under braking. A visual inspection of the windscreen should be conducted to confirm that the minor damage flagged in 2023 was rectified and has not developed into a structural crack that could impair visibility.
