2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EF10 LPZ

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-20 shows the 2010 Renault Clio passed with several minor issues, including tyres near the legal limit, suspension bush wear, and a slightly worn brake disc. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs but no critical safety risks. The vehicle’s 130,218 miles align with its 16-year age, averaging 8,139 miles annually—typical for this age group. This mileage suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though it does not rule out periods of inactivity or inconsistent maintenance. A recurring pattern of tyre-related issues emerges, including near-limit wear, cracking, and damage. These could indicate improper inflation, alignment problems, or general wear from extended use. Suspension components, such as bushings and ball joints, also show consistent minor faults, such as slight play or deterioration, which may point to gradual wear rather than sudden failure. Electrical issues, like inoperative stop lamps and registration plate lights, were addressed by 2026, but the 2024 failed MOT revealed more severe faults, including a damaged tyre and distorted wheels, suggesting intermittent neglect or impact damage. The trend shows some improvement, as the 2026 MOT lacks the critical failures seen in 2024, such as non-working lights or severe tyre damage. However, persistent issues like tyre wear and suspension component degradation indicate ongoing maintenance demands.
