2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LL66 NEJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-19 recorded a pass, but noted multiple tyre-related issues. The nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, with 3mm wear and cracking, while both rear tyres showed slight damage or perishing. A nail in the offside rear tyre was also recorded. These findings align with a long-standing pattern of tyre degradation, particularly on the front and rear tyres, dating back to 2022. Recurring mechanical issues focus on tyre condition and windscreen damage. Tyre problems, including cracking, perishing, and near-limit wear, have persisted across multiple MOTs, suggesting either inadequate maintenance or underlying factors like improper alignment, suspension wear, or prolonged inactivity. Windscreen damage was noted in 2022, 2024, and 2025, but consistently classified as non-critical to driver visibility. A failed MOT in 2024 highlighted faulty windscreen wipers, which were later resolved. The trend for tyre issues appears stable but persistent. While no new major defects were recorded in the 2025 MOT, the continued presence of worn and damaged tyres indicates ongoing maintenance needs.
