2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DY15 WFF

The 2015 Renault Clio presents a stable and improving maintenance trend as of its most recent test activity. On 20 June 2025 at 88,253 miles, the vehicle failed an MOT due to an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, a minor visibility defect. A retest conducted on the same day at the same recorded mileage passed with zero defects. This clean pass, following the immediate rectification of a trivial wiper issue, confirms the car currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures in the latest cycle, indicating a well-maintained vehicle at present. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old supermini. Between the 30 May 2023 test at 67,011 miles and the 20 June 2025 test at 88,253 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 21,242 miles over a twenty-five-month period. This equates to roughly 10,196 miles per annum, which is slightly above the 8,023 miles per year average implied by the total recorded history. No suspicious mileage gaps or rapid unexplained accumulation are present in the data, suggesting continuous regular use rather than prolonged standing. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as these areas have historically drawn attention. The 2023 failure at 67,010 miles flagged a fractured nearside front coil spring and an excessively worn lower suspension arm ball joint, both critical structural wear items. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, a thorough check of the coil springs for fresh cracking and the suspension bushes and ball joints for play is prudent. The 2024 test at 75,584 miles recorded front brake pads wearing thin and all four tyres worn close to the legal limit. This pattern of simultaneous tyre and pad wear suggests the previous owner deferred basic consumable upkeep until the MOT flagged it. Inspect the inner and outer tyre shoulders for uneven wear and check the brake disc thickness and pad depth to confirm fresh replacements were fitted correctly.
