2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · BK15 KPZ

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 24 March 2026 shows an improving trend in terms of passing criteria, though it required immediate rectification of windscreen wiper failures. The record indicates a history of intermittent issues rather than a steady decline. While the vehicle passed the 2026 test after addressing wiper defects, the previous year saw a failure due to a major defect. The recorded mileage of 21,331 miles is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging fewer than 2,000 miles per year. This pattern suggests infrequent use. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it can also lead to issues related to vehicles standing for long periods, such as seized components or degraded rubber parts. The brake system shows a recurring pattern of concern. An advisory for a slight bind on the nearside rear service brake was noted in the 2024 test on 2 April. This progressed to a major failure in the 2025 test on 1 April, where the tester recorded the nearside rear service brake as excessively binding. A buyer should inspect the rear brake calipers, discs, and pads to ensure the binding issue has been fully resolved and is not a symptom of a wider hydraulic or mechanical fault. Beyond the brakes, the 2026 failure regarding ineffective windscreen wipers suggests that consumables like wiper blades or wiper motors may need attention. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection of the battery health and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking is advisable, as these components often degrade during periods of inactivity regardless of distance travelled.
