2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DS67 HRC

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 26 January 2026 at 86,821 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. An anomalous failure logged on the same date at identical mileage but also with no defects suggests a clerical reversal rather than a mechanical concern, with the pass superseding it. Across the five recorded tests from January 2023 onward, the vehicle cleared each examination without advisories, indicating no worsening or recurring faults. Mileage progression shows disciplined annual use. The test on 25 January 2023 recorded 74,654 miles, rising to 78,583 by 23 January 2024, then 82,363 on 22 January 2025, and 86,821 on 26 January 2026. Yearly increments averaged roughly 4,000 miles, well below the circa 10,850 miles per annum implied by the car's 2018 build and total odometer. The earlier life likely absorbed higher mileage before the record begins. No gaps appear in the annual test cadence, and the clean sheets point to previous owners addressing wear before each assessment. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, exhaust emissions, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion, as MOT passes within limits do not preclude imminent consumable wear. The absence of advisories on tyres or wiper blades suggests those items were within tolerance, yet visual checks remain prudent. Verify the DVSA anomaly of 26 January 2026 to ensure no outstanding administrative flag affects transfer, and confirm the keeper prioritised statutory compliance given the unbroken clean history.
