2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · HV13 CEY

The 2013 Renault Clio fails the most recent DVSA test on 2026-06-08 at 50,461 miles, citing a weak bonnet support strut, front brake pads under 1.5 mm and binding rear brakes. The failure follows a pattern of progressively thinner pads and earlier warnings about brake discs and wheel fixing, indicating a worsening condition rather than isolated wear. The recorded mileage climbs from 16,701 miles in 2016 to 50,461 miles by June 2026, a rise of roughly 33,760 miles over seven years, or about 4,800 miles per year. Gaps between tests are short, with no long idle periods evident, suggesting regular use despite the low annual average. Repeated advisories on the front brake system, wheel nut integrity and bonnet support recur across multiple tests, while tyre edge wear appears intermittently but never escalates to a serious structural defect. No evidence of rust or exhaust emission failures is recorded. A buyer should verify the bonnet strut’s ability to hold the hood open, examine the condition of the front brake pads and discs for uneven wear, check each wheel nut for secure fitment, and assess tyre tread depth and edge wear patterns. Inspecting the suspension bushes and coil springs for play or corrosion will reveal whether the vehicle has endured sustained stress.
