2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · GY18 OTT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the test on 9 May 2026 at 67,537 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of declining attention to consumables. While the car passed the most recent inspection, the tester flagged three tyre-related advisories, specifically noting that both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and the nearside rear tyre shows signs of cracking or perishing. This follows a 2025 test at 56,914 miles where the nearside rear service brake was reported as binding. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple tyre advisories in 2026 suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The records show steady progress from 38,825 miles in May 2023 to 67,537 miles in May 2026. This gradual increase indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. The data provides a clear chronological view of the car's usage over the last three years. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the tyres. The 2023 failure at 38,825 miles for significantly worn front brake discs and pads, combined with the 2025 advisory for a binding rear brake, indicates that the braking components require close scrutiny. It is necessary to check for even pad wear and ensure no calipers are sticking. Given the recent advisories regarding tyre tread and sidewall integrity, a full set of new tyres will likely be required imminently. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and any potential corrosion on the underbody would also be prudent to ensure the vehicle's overall structural integrity remains sound.
