2017 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EO67 ENF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in maintenance standards following several years of clean passes. In the September 2025 test at 38,343 miles, the Clio failed due to thin front brake pads, an excessively worn nearside lower suspension arm ball joint, and multiple tyre defects. While the vehicle passed the following day at 38,348 miles, the immediate nature of the repair suggests the owner only addressed the minimum requirements to pass, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,261 miles per year. Between September 2022 and 2024, the car covered only 8,500 miles, resulting in clean MOT records. However, the 5,185 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests coincide with the first recorded mechanical failures. This low annual usage often leads to-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking tyres noted in the most recent entry. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension personally to ensure the nearside ball joint replacement was completed correctly and that no other steering components exhibit play. The record of thin brake pads and worn tyres suggests that consumables are being run to the point of failure rather than being replaced on a scheduled service interval. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for brake disc corrosion or seizing of the calipers, which are common issues on vehicles that sit for long periods between uses.
