2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BF15 SFZ

This vehicle presents a consistent history of passing annual roadworthiness tests with no recorded failures over the last seven years, though the February 2025 inspection flagged a specific pattern of tyre wear on the front outer and inner edges. The February 2026 test subsequently confirmed a clean pass, indicating that the alignment or suspension components causing the edge wear have not progressed to a failure point as of the latest inspection date. With a recorded mileage of 31,432 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has accumulated an average of just under 2,857 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for its age. This minimal usage suggests the powertrain components, including the engine and transmission, have experienced limited thermal cycling and wear. However, prolonged periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to issues such as flat spots on tyres or dry rot in rubber components, although the recent tyre advisories point more toward suspension geometry rather than general tyre degradation. Given the advisory for edge wear on both the offside front outer and nearside front inner tyres, prospective buyers should inspect the tread depth on the inner and outer shoulders of the front tyres immediately, as they may already be close to the legal minimum. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises over bumps, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or ball joints contributing to the alignment issues, and check for any steering pull to the left or right, which often accompanies uneven tyre wear patterns. The absence of any failure points in the latest MOT and the clean history of previous tests suggest that the braking system, exhaust system, and structural integrity remain within acceptable limits. However, as the front tyres are currently showing signs of edge wear, the braking performance may be compromised if the tyres are replaced with a standard profile rather than a directional or asymmetric tread pattern that can correct alignment angles. Ensure the brakes are free of vibration or judder during braking, as this can sometimes be exacerbated by the uneven tyre wear described in the history.
