2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FG64 AGY

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 January 2025 at 135,108 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 29 January 2024 test at 132,032 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across its recorded history, and the absence of advisories in the latest examinations suggests no immediate mechanical concerns were flagged by DVSA testers. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2014 vehicle, averaging roughly 11,259 miles per year against the 135,108 miles now recorded. The records show steady annual use: 127,671 miles in February 2023, 131,905 by January 2024, and 135,108 by January 2025. Two failed tests appear in early 2024 and early 2023, both dated days before a subsequent pass at near-identical mileages, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for either failure. This pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, though the buyer should clarify the exact failure causes with the testing garage. Given the clean defect record across all five entries, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion problems are documented for this Clio. The lack of advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity indicates previous owners addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the 12-year age and 135,000-mile accumulation, as these components degrade without always triggering MOT flags. The sparse but clean history points to a vehicle that has passed when presented correctly, with no evidence of neglected upkeep or serious structural risk. Verify the two anomaly failures from 23 January 2024 and 6 February 2023 through DVSA correspondence, then proceed with a standard pre-purchase check of wear items before completion.
