2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · DV13 UUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. Following the most recent test in November 2025 at 79,988 miles, the car passed despite receiving strong advisories for all four tyres. While the vehicle maintained a clean record in 2024, the appearance of worn-edge tyres and perished rear rubber indicates that the current owner is neglecting basic consumable upkeep and rubber degradation. At 79,988 miles, the Clio has averaged approximately 6,150 miles per year, which aligns with low-use expectations for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,540 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly which helps prevent seal-related component failure despite the low total mileage. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components. The vehicle previously failed the November 2022 test due to a nearside rear brake binding and lagging, indicating a history of caliper seizure or slider pin corrosion. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft boot highlights that rubber components need to be checked for grease leaks and cracking which could lead to premature joint failure. The 2025 advisories regarding perished rear tyres and uneven front wear suggest the vehicle requires an immediate set of tyres to ensure safety and to check for alignment issues.
