2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · BD68 UAH

This 2018 Renault Clio has a relatively clean MOT history, but the most recent inspection shows a shift from minor wear to more significant mechanical components. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in November 2025, it initially failed due to a worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and ineffective windscreen wipers. The vehicle's mileage is notably low for its age, averaging just over 4,000 miles per year. While this suggests light usage, such low annual mileage can sometimes mean the car has spent long periods stationary. This is supported by the 2024 entry regarding a tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing, which is a classic symptom of age-related degradation rather than heavy tread wear. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening slightly. We have moved from simple consumable issues, like brake pads and tyres, to a failure involving suspension geometry. Although the suspension issue was rectified for the pass, it indicates that components are beginning to fail due to age. The low mileage is an ambiguous signal; it protects the drivetrain and engine from high-mileage wear, but it increases the risk of rubber components, such as bushings, tyres, and seals, perishing from lack of movement. Before purchasing, you should personally inspect the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking and check the suspension components for any play or knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces.
