2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · HN10 UBP

The 2010 Renault Clio is presently roadworthy, having passed the 21 February 2026 MOT at 134,812 miles with no defects recorded. The most recent test follows a 20 February 2026 failure that listed numerous suspension and brake deficiencies, indicating that the owner has addressed the earlier issues and the vehicle now meets the required standards. At an average of 8,426 miles per year over 16 years, the recorded mileage is typical for its age, but the data show accelerating usage: the jump from 102,705 miles in February 2024 to 119,709 miles a year later, and then to 134,812 miles in February 2026, reflects a rapid increase of roughly 15,000 miles in the past two years. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension geometry, paying close attention to the track rod ends, ball joints and coil springs, which have repeatedly shown excessive play, worn boots and corrosion; verify that the rear parking brake operates within the required 50 % efficiency and that the rear brake assembly is not binding; inspect the condition of the tyres for the previously noted tears and edge wear, and assess the brake discs and pads for the thinning recorded in earlier tests; finally, check for any residual rust on the chassis, especially around the off‑side front coil spring and exhaust mounting points. Overall, the vehicle exhibits a history of recurring mechanical wear but the latest MOT confirms current compliance; prospective purchasers should prioritize a thorough in‑person inspection of the suspension, braking and structural components to confirm that the recent improvements have been fully remedied.
