2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · KW13 VCF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward suspension wear-related issues. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 94,407 miles passed but flagged an offside front suspension arm ball joint with slight play. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that components are now beginning to reach their functional limit due to age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 22,683 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 5,600 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress motorway environments, but the long intervals between service points can often lead to the degradation of rubber bushings and metal components regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the ball joint play noted in the latest record. The 2022 test also highlighted a corroded nearside front coil spring, which is a common failure point on this model due to salt-induced rust. Additionally, the history shows front brake discs were worn and pitted in both 2022 and 2023. While these were likely replaced or monitored, the current thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
