2018 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DT18 ADX

The 2018 Renault Clio remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 61,211 miles confirming no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2023, including two consecutive passes in 2023 and 2025. The single failed test on 2025-02-25 at 46,471 miles recorded no defects, suggesting it may have been a procedural error or unrelated to mechanical issues. No recurring faults or escalating problems are evident in the record, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage progression reveals a significant jump from 27,810 miles in August 2023 to 46,473 miles in February 2025—a 18,663-mile increase over 16 months. This rapid accumulation may reflect heavy usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which can stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2026 test at 61,211 miles confirms the vehicle has not developed critical issues despite this growth, though the lack of intermediate MOTs between 2025 and 2026 leaves a 19-month gap in monitoring. A buyer should inspect the suspension for wear, particularly if the rapid mileage suggests accelerated bush or spring degradation. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical check for corrosion on brake discs or binding calipers is prudent. Structural integrity remains unmentioned in the history, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or damage is recommended. The car’s maintenance pattern shows no red flags, but the sparse data between 2025 and 2026 warrants careful scrutiny of mechanical components during a pre-purchase inspection.
