2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LD65 BKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward mechanical wear requiring attention. The most recent test in March 2025 at 79,192 miles resulted in a failure due to a binding nearside rear service brake and leaking from both rear shock absorbers. While the vehicle passed upon re-test, the presence of these faults indicates that the suspension and braking components are reaching the end of their effective life after years of use. At 79,192 miles over eleven years, this Renault Clio has covered an average of approximately 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 7,000 miles between early 2024 and early 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals regardless of the distance traveled. A buyer must physically inspect the rear shock absorbers to ensure the light misting noted in 2025 has not progressed into a significant leak, which would compromise handling and safety. The binding rear brake also requires a thorough check to ensure the caliper piston is not seized and theের mechanism has not suffered from uneven wear on the pads. Given that the front brake discs were already flagged as worn in 2023 at 68,033 miles, the current thickness of the discs should be measured to ensure they are still within the minimum operating limits and have not developed excessive corrosion or pitting.
