2015 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · HG15 LRV

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is currently passing the MOT, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of increasing wear rather than stability or improvement. The most recent test was conducted on 2025-08-02 at 49,667 miles, which was passed, yet the history reveals that the condition of the rear coil spring has deteriorated since that date, a significant structural risk that has not been addressed. This deterioration in the rear suspension, combined with the 2024-08-05 test where the front inner brake disc was found worn, suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep or that previous owners may have maintained the car too lightly. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced a rapid accumulation of recorded miles over approximately 11 years, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per year. While the low mileage relative to age might suggest lighter use or long standing periods, this data does not account for the severe wear on the rear coil spring and brake components seen in the 2024-08-05 record. The gap between the 2025 test and the 2024 test, where the brake disc was found worn, indicates that the vehicle is approaching the point where consumables are becoming a primary concern rather than a minor wear item. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the rear suspension and brake systems. The 2024-08-05 test flagged a corroded rear coil spring and a pitted or scored front brake disc, which are serious structural risks that require immediate professional assessment. Furthermore, the 2021-08-05 record notes that the rear tyre has cracked or perished, indicating that the vehicle has been subjected to significant stress. The 2025-08-02 test also showed nearside and offside tyres worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained in the last few years to prevent further catastrophic failure.
