2018 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DX18 TGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive repairs. While the most recent test in March 2025 at 20,247 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory for a perishing nearside front tyre. This follows a more significant failure period in April 2024, where multiple braking and tyre issues were identified, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they fail an inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,531 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2023 (12,101 miles) and April 2024 (13,903 miles), where only 1,800 miles were covered over thirteen months. This pattern suggests the car sits stationary for long periods. Low-mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid integrity, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted across multiple tyres in the most recent tests. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system due to the recurring issues noted in the history. The 2024 failure flagged an offside rear service brake binding and a lack of effort on the nearside rear parking brake, alongside overall low efficiency. The low mileage suggests these components are prone to seizing or corrosion from disuse, which can affect pedal response. Additionally, the sidewalls of all tyres should be checked for deep cracking, as the record confirms a persistent trend of age-related rubber degradation despite low tread depth.
