2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LR13 CZL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention regarding wear-related components. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 74,955 miles passed, yet it highlighted significant pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. While these did not result in a failure, the transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple defects suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure. At 74,955 miles over 13 years, the Clio averages a low annual usage of approximately 5,766 miles. However, there is a notable gap in records between October 2022 at 47,286 miles and June 2024 at 58,456 miles, representing over 11,000 miles driven in just under twenty months. This intermittent usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the perishing tyre noted in June 2023 and the failing wiper blade in June 2024. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the 2025 advisory indicates the discs are reaching the end of their service life due to corrosion. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear on the offside front in 2024 suggest a potential alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, an inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and perished rubber seals, which frequently affect cars that sit stationary for long periods.
