2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · KU64 AEM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, earning a PASS at the most recent December 2025 test (69 728 mi) despite three advisories: a nearside side repeater lens defect, rear tyre cracking on both sides, and a nearside rear service brake binding that is not excessive. The brake binding first appeared in December 2024 (68 017 mi) and recurs at the latest test, indicating a persistent but currently manageable condition. The new tyre damage suggests a lapse in routine tyre maintenance, while the repeater lens issue is cosmetic and does not affect illumination. Overall the maintenance trend is stable, with the brake problem showing no progression to excessive binding, but the emergence of tyre deterioration hints at uneven care. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2014 model, averaging roughly 5 800 mi per year across the 12‑year span. The record shows a consistent pattern of annual MOTs, with the only notable gap being the two separate tests in 2022 (July and December) that bracket a modest mileage increase of about 855 mi. This regular testing schedule provides a clear chronological view, and the mileage growth is gradual rather than the steep rise often seen in heavily used cars. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear tyres for cracking or perishing, as the latest test flagged damage on both sides. The brake system warrants close examination, particularly the nearside rear service brake for binding; a manual check for smooth pedal travel and even pad wear is advisable. The side repeater lens should be tested for proper illumination, and any signs of corrosion on the rear chassis or suspension mounts should be noted. Finally, a thorough visual survey of the suspension bushes and coil springs, along with an assessment of the exhaust and brake disc condition, will help confirm that the low‑mileage history has not concealed hidden wear.
