2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · LS14 WRF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend confirmed by the most recent MOT on 2022-12-01 at 57,558 miles, which passed without defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the past three years, including the 2021 and 2020 results, indicating reliable mechanical condition and no significant deterioration in critical systems. The absence of advisories or failures in these tests suggests that routine servicing has been maintained to a standard sufficient for compliance. The mileage progression shows a low annual average of approximately 4,796 miles per year since 2019, which is well below the UK average for vehicles of this age. From 46,754 miles in May 2019 to 50,524 miles by November 2020, the vehicle accumulated just under 3,800 miles in 18 months—a relatively slow increase. A further 3,155 miles were added between November 2020 and November 2021, and then 3,879 miles between November 2021 and December 2022. These figures reflect steady but light usage, suggesting the car may have spent periods idle or driven infrequently, which can contribute to issues like brake corrosion or rubber component degradation even if overall wear remains low. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points in older Clio models and may not be flagged during an MOT unless visibly damaged. The front brakes should also be checked for any signs of uneven wear or binding, especially given the long intervals between some services. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for rust or leaks, as the vehicle’s low mileage does not eliminate the risk of corrosion in damp conditions. A full check of the interior and underbody for signs of water ingress or structural rust is advised, as prolonged standing can compromise body integrity even if drivetrain components remain functional.
