2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LD68 AOS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to emerging consumable wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 36,206 miles flagged thinning on the front brake pads and worn front discs. While the vehicle passed, this indicates that the braking system is now entering a cycle of replacement that was not present during the previously clean 2022 inspection. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. This low usage is evident across the timeline, moving from 14,940 miles in 2021 to 36,206 miles in 2025. While such low mileage typically reduces mechanical strain on the engine and gearbox, it often correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber-based components, which appears to be the primary concern here rather than-related wear. A buyer must prioritise a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of cracking and perishing across all four wheels between 2023 and 2024. Despite the low mileage, the rubber compound is drying out due to age rather than tread wear. The buyer should also verify the front brake assembly thoroughly, as the 2025 advisory confirms the pads and discs are nearing the end of their effective life. No structural corrosion or suspension failures have been recorded, suggesting the focus remains on these age-related maintenance items.
