2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · BT15 BKX

The vehicle presents a consistent history of roadworthiness, with the most recent test in January 2026 at 83,697 miles passing with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a failure in late 2023 to clean passes in both 2024 and 2026 suggests the current owner has taken proactive action to rectify the specific faults flagged by the tester. At 83,697 miles over 11 years, the Clio averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage intervals between tests show regular operation, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between the December 2024 and January 2026 tests. This consistent use is generally preferable to a vehicle sitting for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, brake seals, and flat-spotting tyres. The December 2023 failure at 70,503 miles highlighted specific areas of concern that required attention. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside front brake pipes for corrosion and obstruction by grease or material, which is a common issue that can hide structural decay of the metal. Additionally, the nearside rear inner tyre was worn to the legal limit on the edge, likely indicating an alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing. While these issues were resolved for the subsequent passes, a buyer should still inspect the front brake lines for signs of recurring corrosion and check the tyre wear patterns to ensure the alignment remains stable.
