2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CK18 HAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the car passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 35,818 miles, it followed a failure just three days prior. That initial failure identified multiple lighting issues, including fog lamps and incorrect headlamp aim, alongside a deficient washer system. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses defects when specifically flagged by the MOT tester, rather than performing routine pre-test checks. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,477 miles per year. The data shows consistent but minimal usage, moving from 31,426 miles in May 2024 to 35,818 miles in May 2026. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation. The record confirms this through tyre cracking and cracking in 2025 and 2026, indicating the rubber likely sits for long periods, drying out despite the low distance driven. A buyer should inspect the front tyres closely, as the history shows recurring issues with perishing and uneven wear over the last two years. The 2025 failure specifically noted tyres being worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion and seized calipers, as these components suffer when a vehicle is not used frequently. Ensure the entire lighting assembly and washer system are fully functional, as these were recent points of failure.
