2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CF18 CON

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-26 recorded two recurring issues: nearside and offside front road wheels slightly distorted, and an offside rear tyre slightly damaged/cracking. These align with earlier findings of wheel distortion and tyre wear, suggesting persistent but not escalating concerns. The 2024 and 2023 MOTs also noted rear tyre damage, while 2023 added a nearside front brake disc worn but not seriously weakened. No major safety-critical defects were recorded in the 2021 MOT, which had 8,372 miles. The pattern shows tyre-related issues and wheel distortion as the primary recurring faults. Tyre damage/cracking appeared in 2021 and persisted through 2025, while wheel distortion first emerged in 2021 and reappeared in 2025. The brake disc issue in 2023 was not repeated in later tests, indicating possible repair. Overall, the trend suggests stable but ongoing minor defects, with no clear worsening. The vehicle’s mileage of 44,256 miles at 8 years old equates to roughly 5,532 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate lighter use or periods of inactivity, which might contribute to tyre perishing or wheel distortion from static weight.
