2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LR13 CZN

The 2013 Renault Clio presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 9 January 2025 at 114,533 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating no mechanical or structural advisories at that time. The maintenance trend is clearly stable, with a clean pass recorded in each of the four preceding annual tests dating back to January 2023. A single failed entry appears on 9 January 2025 at the same mileage, but the record shows no defects noted for that failure, suggesting a procedural or administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring defects, advisories, or progressive wear patterns emerge from the data. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between 9 January 2024 at 97,949 miles and 9 January 2025 at 114,533 miles, the car covered 16,584 miles in twelve months, which is notably higher than the lifetime average of roughly 8,810 miles per year. Prior years show more moderate use: 15,710 miles between January 2022 and January 2023, and 15,709 miles between December 2022 and January 2024. The spike in the most recent year suggests heavier use or a longer commute, which places greater demand on consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes. Despite the clean MOT record, the elevated recent mileage warrants closer physical inspection. Buyers should examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, rear brake calipers for binding, and the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear. Suspension components, including front lower arm bushes, rear trailing arm bushes, and coil spring seating, deserve attention given the increased annual mileage. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion, particularly at flexi-joints and mounting points, and the underbody inspected for any signs of surface or structural rust around suspension mounting points and sills. The absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. A prospective buyer should still verify that the service history aligns with the MOT record, paying particular attention to brake fluid changes, cambelt replacement intervals, and any evidence of exhaust or steering repairs that may have been addressed between tests.
