2009 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · CE59 FXT

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as poor for the current date of 2026, and the maintenance trend is worsening rather than stable or improving. The most recent test occurred on 2021-12-17, which was passed, but this is followed by two separate failures in 2020 and 2019, indicating a clear deterioration in mechanical condition over the past three years. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the test dates and the current date, with the vehicle having accumulated approximately 5,896 miles since its last test, resulting in a total of 100,227 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner may have been driving the car in a way that accelerates wear on components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, or drivetrain parts, rather than relying on regular maintenance to prevent failure. Given the recurring faults including binding rear brakes, worn brake discs, structural rust on the exhaust, and excessive play in anti-roll bars, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle is compromised. A buyer must inspect the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system in person immediately, as these components are the primary causes of the observed wear and the vehicle's inability to meet safety standards.
