2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · LK18 KAJ

The most recent MOT from January 2026 shows two front tyres worn close to legal limit, requiring immediate attention after purchase. Front brake issues have recurred across multiple tests, with pads failing inspection in January 2025 due to being under 1.5mm thickness. The braking system shows ongoing deterioration, as brake discs were already noted as worn in 2024 before the pad failure occurred. Tyre condition has been problematic, with all four showing damage or cracking in 2023 and both front tyres now near legal limits. The vehicle has covered 31,182 miles over approximately 8 years, representing very low annual usage of roughly 3,900 miles per year. Low mileage suggests light use rather than intensive driving, though extended periods of standing cannot be ruled out from this data alone. The defect pattern shows a clear worsening trend in critical safety components, particularly the braking system and tyres over consecutive years. Brake pad replacement was required in 2025, indicating accelerated wear that buyers should investigate further. The tyre wear pattern suggests alignment or suspension issues that need addressing beyond simple replacement. Recent wiper blade failures in 2023 indicate potential maintenance neglect that could affect other consumable items.
