2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · FX13 TTJ

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy profile with a highly stable maintenance trend following an initial setback. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 132,873 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the previous three years of clean passes. This suggests that whatever issues caused the failure in early 2023 were successfully rectified and the current owner has since maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate MOT test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age. With 132,873 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 10,221 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a hatchback. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 1,794 miles, indicating regular and predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation. This consistent mileage is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brakes, as it prevents the corrosion often seen when a vehicle sits stationary. While the recent records are clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear on high-mileage Renault Clios. The failure in March 2023 at 109,408 miles indicates a specific mechanical or safety fault existed once, so the buyer should verify the current state of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear. Given the vehicle has surpassed the 130,000-mile mark, checking the structural integrity of the exhaust and the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure no hidden degradation is developing between the annual test cycles.
