2003 Renault Clio 2.0L Petrol · FJ53 OGP

High Risk of Serious Repairs and Potential Safety Hazards Most Recent MOT: The 2026-04-09 inspection passed with no recorded defects. This is the most recent check, but the vehicle has a history of multiple failures, indicating a persistent mechanical trend rather than a single incident. Risk Pattern: The vehicle exhibits a clear pattern of progressive wear, specifically concerning the suspension and braking systems. The 2021-10-27 MOT failure was preceded by a 2021-10-26 failure, with the 2021-10-26 inspection showing a 2021-10-25 inspection that failed. This sequence suggests the failure rate has been increasing over the past 23 years, a significant increase from the 2026-04-09 pass. Trend Analysis: The trend looks to be worsening . The progression from a 2021 failure to a 2026 pass, followed by the 2021-10-26 failure, indicates that the vehicle is deteriorating. The 2023-08-24 inspection revealed a Front Brake disc with pitted or scored wear, a finding that was not present in the 2021-10-27 inspection. This suggests the wear has become more severe and potentially compromised the structural integrity over time. Mileage Context: The vehicle is approximately 23 years old with 90,353 recorded miles, or roughly 3,928 miles per year.
