2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · AY68 AUE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 19 May 2026 at 59,314 miles. The maintenance trend appears somewhat inconsistent, moving from several years of clean passes to a failure in May 2026. This recent failure was caused by a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and an offside front tyre with a structural lump. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the failure indicates a lapse in routine consumable inspections by the previous owner. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,132 miles in November 2021 to 59,314 miles in May 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the mileage increments between annual tests suggest regular, predictable road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and braking components. The November 2021 test flagged front brake discs worn below minimum thickness and multiple tyres with shoulder wear or sidewall cuts. Although the 2022 through 2025 tests recorded no defects, the sudden appearance of tyre structural failures in May 2026 suggests that maintenance on consumables may be reactive rather than proactive. Physical inspection should focus on the front axle area to ensure the recent tyre issues were not symptomatic of wider suspension or alignment problems. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, given the history of thinning discs. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical faults appear in these records, the recent tyre failure warrants a thorough check of the remaining tread depths and sidewall integrity across all four wheels.
