2019 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · GL19 HSD

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle, with advisories for cracking and perishing appearing in three consecutive annual tests. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 28 March 2026, the persistence of these advisories indicates a trend of rubber deterioration that has remained unaddressed. The record shows a transition from a clean history in 2022 and 2023 to a consistent flagging of tyre condition from 2024 onwards. With 47,460 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,780 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, meaning that wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system is likely consistent with standard operational expectations. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest unusual deployment. Physical inspection must prioritise the condition of the tyre sidewalls and treads, specifically the rear pair which have been flagged for perishing in both 2025 and 2026. A close examination is required to identify visible cracking or rubber degradation on the nearside and offside rear tyres, as well as the front nearside tyre which was flagged in 2024. During a test drive, the driver should be alert for any unusual vibrations or road noise that could indicate uneven tyre wear or structural compromise of the rubber. Given that these specific defects have been recorded across multiple years, confirming whether the tyres have been replaced since the March 2026 test is essential to ensure the vehicle is currently roadworthy.
