2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · DS64 WBF

The 2014 Renault Clio presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 January 2026 at 78,951 miles with zero defects recorded. That most recent certificate is now just under five months old, meaning the car's roadworthiness status is current and highly relevant to any prospective purchase. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across multiple consecutive annual tests, which strongly suggests consistent routine upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation is steady and entirely typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2023 test at 53,694 miles and the January 2026 test at 78,951 miles, the car covered roughly 25,257 miles over three years, averaging around 8,419 miles per year. That figure sits comfortably within normal annual usage for a small hatchback of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would raise concerns about long periods of disuse or clock irregularities. The 2023 entry shows a same-day fail and retest at virtually identical mileage, which is a standard procedural occurrence and not indicative of a fault. With no advisories or failures on record, there are no recurring defect patterns to flag. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. Check the condition of the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for play, as these are common wear items on the Clio platform. Examine the rear brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and inspect the underside of the sills and subframes for any early corrosion, particularly around mounting points. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should be verified, along with the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration. The clean MOT history is a positive indicator, but it does not substitute for a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic. A short test drive over varied road surfaces will reveal any suspension knocks, steering vagueness, or brake imbalance that static checks might miss. Given the car's age and mileage, attention to the condition of the clutch, gearbox synchromesh, and engine mounts will round out a sensible pre-purchase assessment.
