2015 Renault Clio D-QUE S M-NAV NRG TCE S/S 0.9L Petrol · DF15 RYT

The latest MOT test conducted on 24 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to October 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistently clean record with no failures or advisories noted across multiple inspections. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring mechanical issues often associated with this model and age bracket. With 80,497 miles recorded over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,318 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a small hatchback, indicating that it has not been subjected to excessive commercial wear nor has it suffered from the mechanical degradation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods standing. The mileage is consistent with standard private use, meaning the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and interior components should be proportional to its age. Despite the clean MOT history, a vehicle of this age requires a thorough physical inspection to identify wear that does not necessarily trigger an official failure. The buyer should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for any signs of binding. Additionally, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as these components typically require replacement every few years to ensure reliable starting. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any suspension clunks or knocks, specifically checking for the degradation of suspension bushes and coil springs. It is essential to verify the service book stamps to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, such as engine oil and coolant, have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Finally, a visual inspection of the engine bay for oil seepage around gaskets or leaks from the steering rack is advised, as these are common age-related developments that would not appear on a clean MOT record but will impact future maintenance costs.
