2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · DF18 AOX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in proactive consumable care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 63,307 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven inner edge wear. This follows a failure in May 2023 where the car was rejected for the same front tyre issues, along with an insecure bonnet catch and low coolant levels. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between the May 2022 and May 2023 tests, followed by roughly 10,800 miles until the August 2024 test, and a final 2,833 miles prior to the 2025 entry. This steady usage suggests regular driving cycles rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring inner edge wear on the front tyres indicates a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The low coolant level noted in 2023 warrants a check for potential leaks in the cooling system or water pump housing. Additionally, verify that the bonnet catch has been properly secured following the 2023 failure to ensure the structural integrity of the opening remains intact.
