2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · KH14 NJS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 90,298 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, two days after a failure. This pattern suggests that while minor issues occasionally trigger failures, the owner is proactive in rectifying them to maintain compliance. The history shows no evidence of recurring mechanical faults or structural degradation over the last three years. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 9,676 miles, while it added another 5,495 miles in the following months up to the August 2025 test. This indicates regular use, which generally prevents seal degradation and excessive corrosion in the drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. While the records are currently clean of major advisories, the back-to-back failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that consumable items or minor components are being replaced or adjusted just before the MOT deadline. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are common points of failure on cars of this mileage. Given the age, checking for surface rust on the exhaust system and inspecting the braking system for binding calipers remains essential to ensure no hidden structural issues are developing beyond what the digital record captures.
