2015 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CL10 FOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 75,929 miles shows the car passed only after a failure just two days prior. While the immediate safety failures regarding the split CV boot were addressed, the presence of thin brake pads and a corroded front brake pipe during that test indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the MOT certificate. At 75,929 miles, this 11-year-old Clio has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage urban usage. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 4,200 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This relatively low mileage has not prevented the age-related degradation of rubber components and metal lines, as evidenced by the corrosion and wear records. A buyer must inspect the offside front drive shaft area to ensure the new CV boot is fitted correctly and that no grease leakage is present. The recurring mention of a corroded front brake pipe near the inner wheel arch is a concern; the buyer should check for further structural thinning of the metal line which could lead to a sudden failure. Furthermore, since the tester flagged thin pads on both front wheels in 2026, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the brakes, as they are likely nearing the end of their service interval or require immediate replacement.
