2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · HN18 EBZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness condition, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 46,466 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. While the history shows specific failures in the past, the clean sheets from the last two consecutive annual tests suggest the car is currently being maintained to a standard that meets basic road safety requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern between 2021 and early 2024, where the car covered roughly 14,000 miles over three years. However, the significant gap between April 2023 and July 2023, where only 100 miles were recorded, suggests periods of stationary or very low use which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid integrity rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition, as the record reveals a recurring issue with perishing and damage. The failure in July 2023 due to a structural tear on the offside front tyre and a perished nearside front tyre confirms that the low mileage may be causing dry rot despite adequate tread depth. Additionally, the history of worn brake pads and discs noted in 2022 and 2024 indicates that the braking system reaches its service intervals regularly. A physical inspection should verify the current brake surfaces for pitting or uneven wear and ensure the tyres show no further signs of cracking in the sidewalls.
