2015 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · HG15 LRX

The 2015 Renault Clio presents a solid and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 9 March 2026 at 91,477 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the 2024 test, where the tester flagged worn front brake discs, thinning front pads, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. The fact that none of those items appear as defects in the 2026 record indicates the previous owner addressed the braking system and tyres promptly. The trend is clearly resolving rather than worsening, suggesting attentive upkeep in the most recent ownership period. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,316 miles per year is typical for an eleven-year-old supermini and implies consistent regular use rather than prolonged standing, which can cause its own issues such as flat-spotted tyres and seized brakes. The annual tests from 2022 through 2026 show a steady progression from 48,393 miles to 91,477 miles, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. The only notable advisory in the entire history was a nail in the offside rear tyre back in March 2022 at 48,393 miles, a minor puncture repair rather than a pattern of neglect. A buyer should still inspect the front braking components in person despite the clean 2026 result. The 2024 test specifically noted pitted and scored front discs alongside thin pads, which implies the braking system has seen harder use than average. Check for uneven disc wear, lipping, and pad thickness, particularly if the car has been used for short urban trips that accelerate corrosion. The front tyres were also flagged as worn on the edges in 2024, so examine current tyre condition for signs of misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes that could cause repeat uneven wear. Beyond the brakes, pay attention to the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as these are common failure points on aging Clios. The clean recent MOT is encouraging, but a physical inspection of the suspension, steering, and structural integrity remains essential before purchase.
