2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HN13 FBL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a history of consistent passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 May 2026 at 43,564 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified issues have been addressed. This represents an improvement over the June 2025 test, where the vehicle passed despite an advisory for a heavily cracked offside rear tyre. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 3,350 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the car covered only 2,494 miles, showing a consistent trend of low-use patterns rather than rapid accumulation or long-distance travel. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based parts due to age rather than distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and seals, as the 2023 and 2025 records highlight recurring tyre perishing and cracking. The oil leak noted in June 2023 at 41,728 miles was described as non-excessive, but a close inspection of the engine gaskets and sump seal is necessary to ensure the leak has not worsened. Given the low usage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which frequently occur when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods.
