2007 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LR07 WKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent test in December 2025 at 103,801 miles, the record shows recurring issues with suspension and braking components that persist across multiple years. The status is stable in terms of passing, but the constant presence of advisories regarding tyre wear and corroded springs suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold or critical advisory stage. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 103,801 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,400 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant increase in usage between December 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered over 4,500 miles in just one year. This recent burst of activity coincides with the appearance of multiple failures, including an insecure exhaust and suspension issues. The low overall mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods previously, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the 2024 failure highlighted heavy inner-edge wear on both front tyres and noted play in the nearside rack. This indicates potential alignment issues or worn ball joints that have not been fully rectified. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory for corroded rear coil springs requires a close look for structural rust, as corroded springs on older vehicles are prone to sudden failure. The braking system also shows a consistent pattern of pitted and scored discs across all axles since 2023. This is common for low-mileage cars that sit, but it indicates the metal surfaces are thinning. Given the previous failures on exhaust mounts and incorrect indicator colours, the buyer should verify that the exhaust system is secure and that all lighting components are of correct specification before purchase.
