2017 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · LC17 AAX

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last three years defines this vehicle's recent history, following a single failure in November 2022. Since that failure, the car has achieved consecutive passes without any recorded advisories, with the most recent test on 06 November 2024 showing no defects. This trend suggests that the mechanical components inspected during the MOT process have remained within legal operating limits for the last several testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 92,362 miles for a 2017 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 10,262 miles. This level of accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subject to extreme high-speed motorway running, it has seen enough regular use to warrant close inspection of wear-related items such as suspension bushes, brake pad thickness, and the condition of the drive belts and cooling system components. Because the recent MOT history is devoid of advisories, there are no specific recorded defects like corrosion on the subframe, leaking brake pipes, or worn suspension linkages to focus on. However, the absence of recorded advisories means a prospective buyer must still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for any signs of structural oxidation or fluid leaks that may have occurred between test intervals. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering for any pulling or vibration, and listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps. The braking system should be evaluated by feeling for any pedal judder or sponginess, which could indicate warped discs or air in the hydraulic lines. Given the mileage, it is also prudent to monitor the engine for any signs of oil misting around the gaskets or excessive exhaust emissions, as these are common areas of wear on vehicles approaching the 100,000-mile mark. While the official DVSA data shows a stable pass history, these physical checks remain essential to confirm the current state of the vehicle's consumables and structural integrity.
