2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · CV64 ACU

The 2014 Renault Clio demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-07-11 at 88,286 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over the past three years, with three consecutive passes from 2024-07-16 (87,738 miles) and 2023-07-26 (86,921 miles), despite a failed test on 2023-07-24 at the same mileage. This suggests either a clerical error or a minor, resolved issue, as no defects were noted in subsequent assessments. The absence of critical failures indicates effective maintenance, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm if underlying concerns were addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 88,286 miles aligns with its 12-year age, averaging 7,357 miles annually. A notable gap of eight months between the 2022-11-01 pass (81,624 miles) and the 2023-07-24 test implies irregular servicing, though the subsequent MOTs show no adverse effects. The 2022-2023 period saw a 5,297-mile increase, which is within normal parameters for this model. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, indicating no systemic mechanical or structural issues, though the 2023 failure raises questions about the reliability of that specific test. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop without triggering MOT failures. Visual assessment of the chassis and body panels for rust is also advised, as corrosion can compromise structural integrity. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the 2023 failure and service gaps suggest the need for a pre-purchase check to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
