2017 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · BJ67 GUH

The 2017 Renault Clio presents a strong mechanical picture as of its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 52,136 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. Earlier in the record, the tester identified multiple tyre advisories and a failed stop lamp in September 2024 at 43,960 miles, yet by the following September 2025 test at 49,532 miles, those issues had been fully rectified with no new advisories. This pattern suggests the previous owner addressed faults promptly rather than allowing them to accumulate. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old supermini, averaging roughly 5,793 miles annually. The interval between the September 2023 test at 37,254 miles and September 2024 at 43,960 miles shows a jump of 6,706 miles in twelve months, which is higher than the long-term average and may indicate a change in usage pattern or a return to regular commuting. The subsequent interval from September 2024 to March 2026 covers just 8,176 miles over approximately eighteen months, confirming the vehicle has seen light recent use. No suspicious mileage gaps or rapid accumulation anomalies appear in the record. Despite the clean recent pass, the recurring tyre wear advisories across three consecutive tests warrant attention. Inner edge wear on both front tyres flagged in 2024, combined with cracking and perishing noted on the rear tyres in 2023, points to possible misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or aging rubber. A buyer should inspect the inner sidewalls and tread shoulders in person, and have a four-wheel alignment check carried out. The failed offside rear stop lamp in 2024 was a simple electrical item, but it is worth verifying all exterior lamps and wiring looms function correctly today. Given the low mileage and clean 2026 result, structural corrosion is unlikely, yet a thorough underbody inspection around subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points remains prudent before purchase.
