2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LL14 ABK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 82,055 miles passed, the tester flagged front brake discs as being pitted and scored. This follows a progression of mechanical issues seen in July 2025, where the car failed due to a binding rear service brake and a corroded brake pipe. The state of the components suggests that are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal threshold. At 82,055 miles, the Renault Clio has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows consistent use, with a 10,000-mile interval between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age of the car has naturally exposed rubber and metal components to environmental degradation, as evidenced by the corrosion found on the brake lines in previous tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The recurring brake pipe corrosion noted in 2025 suggests that the underbody is susceptible to rust, which could lead to fluid leaks if ignored. Furthermore, the pitted front discs identified in the 2026 test indicate that the brakes are nearing the end of their effective life. You should also check the wear pattern on the tyres and the wiper blades, as the history shows previous failures related to edge wear and ineffective wipers, indicating a neglect of basic consumable maintenance.
