2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · AY04 AGY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 20 April 2026 at 69,142 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of declining maintenance standards between 2023 and 2025, where recurring advisories suggested a pattern of deferred consumable replacement. The absence of faults in the latest test indicates that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed, effectively resetting the maintenance trend to a clean state. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,877 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 26,881 miles in April 2022 to 69,142 miles in April 2026. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, nor is there evidence of excessive or erratic usage. The vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished seals associated with long-term standing. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the wheels and tyres, as these were persistent issues in the earlier records. The tester flagged distorted inner road wheels in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests, suggesting the vehicle may have encountered significant impacts such as potholes or kerbing. While the 2026 test shows no current defects, a physical inspection of the wheel rims for dents or cracks is necessary. The history also shows frequent advisories for perishing or damaged tyres, specifically noted in 2024 and 2025, so verifying the age and tread depth of the current set is a priority. The recurring tyre damage and near-legal tread depths in the 2024 and 2025 tests imply a tendency by previous owners to run consumables toward the end of their service life. Although the 2026 result is clear, the mechanical history suggests the car has been used in environments that stress the wheels and tyres. Checking the suspension components for signs of impact damage or premature wear would be a prudent step to ensure the structural integrity of the running gear remains sound.
