2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DU68 ABK

This Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 106,134 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in October 2024, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,267 miles per year. Data shows a steady accumulation of distance, with 11,219 miles added between October 2023 and October 2024, and a further 11,199 miles added by October 2025. This consistent high-usage pattern indicates the car has been used primarily for long-distance commuting or fleet work rather than short city trips, which generally puts less strain on the engine but accelerates wear on the chassis and drivetrain. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components that the DVSA test may not flag as failures until they are critical. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under high mileage. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to determine if they are nearing the end of their service life. Given the lack of recorded advisories, there is no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust leaks. However, the absence of any noted wear on tyres or wipers over several years of high mileage is unusual. You should verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals have been adhered to, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and not the internal mechanical health of the engine.
