2017 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · CT17 DJK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 12, 2026, at 90,076 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning reliance on reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with significant inner edge wear, this continues a pattern of tyre neglect seen across the previous three years, suggesting that the owner only addresses consumable items when they approach an MOT failure point. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 50,182 miles and November 2024 at 76,723 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles, indicating steady usage. The more recent interval of 5,088 miles covered between November 2025 and June 2026 shows the vehicle remains in regular, high-frequency use, which places consistent stress on the suspension and braking components. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry closely, as the recurring inner edge tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2026 likely indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The November 2025 test identified corrosion on both rear coil springs and external damage to the shock absorber casings. Although these passed as advisories, the presence of corrosion on structural suspension components in a Renault often leads to eventual failure. A physical inspection should verify that the rear springs have been replaced and that the shocks are not leaking fluid, as these components are now showing signs of advanced degradation.
