2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · KM69 YAD

The Renault Clio presents a stable, largely well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 44,671 miles passed, but flagged front brake pads wearing thin and a front brake disc worn, alongside a nearside rear nail in the tyre inner sidewall. These are consumable wear items typical of a car approaching 45,000 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring structural or serious mechanical defects. The 2023 test at 36,598 miles recorded zero defects, suggesting a period of attentive upkeep, though the reappearance of tyre punctures in 2024 and 2025 indicates the owner may not be checking pressures or inspecting for foreign objects regularly. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,382 miles per year since registration in 2019, which is average for its age. Accumulation has been steady, with no sudden jumps or suspiciously low annual intervals that would suggest long periods standing or clocking. The 3,233-mile gap between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests aligns with normal yearly driving. There are no gaps in the MOT record that raise concerns about extended unroadworthy use. Buyers should focus on the front braking system. The tester noted worn pads and a worn disc at the most recent test, meaning replacement is imminent. Inspect the disc thickness and scoring, and check whether the calipers are binding, which can cause uneven pad wear. The recurring nearside rear nail in the tyre, appearing in three of the last four tests, warrants a close inspection of that tyre's sidewall for embedded debris or slow punctures, and a check of the wheel for damage. Examine the tyre pressures and condition across all four wheels, as the 2022 test flagged multiple worn and cut tyres, suggesting the car may have been driven hard or neglected during that period. Given the age, a brief underside inspection for corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines is prudent, even though no structural defects have been recorded.
