2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CE17 HKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 66,116 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures related to tyre tread depth. While the car has passed its last two tests, the pattern of failing immediately prior to a pass in consecutive years suggests that the previous owner only addressed essential faults when forced to by the MOT tester, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use usage, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The vehicle covered 15,634 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 14,884 miles in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though the low total mileage for a nine-year-old Renault means that rubber-based components and seals may be subject to age-related degradation despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the parking brake system and lighting assembly. The November 2024 failure at 51,232 miles flagged the parking brake as inoperative on one side and below efficiency requirements, which often indicates stretched cables or a seized adjustment mechanism. Additionally, the November 2025 failure regarding a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front wiper blades and the headlamp lenses is also necessary, as these were previously identified as points of failure.
