2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LS14 WRW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on March 26 2026 at 62,885 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, the immediate failure recorded just two days prior indicates a lapse in basic consumable inspections. The tester flagged a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre and both front tyres reaching the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. These issues were addressed to allow the car to pass the subsequent test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of twelve years age, averaging approximately 5,240 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 13,343 miles, moving from 49,542 to 62,885 miles. This low annual mileage suggests that the mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components should be minimal. However, low-mile vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, such as seals and suspension hoses, which do not always manifest as immediate failures on an MOT record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record of inner-edge wear on the front tyres suggests potential alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the age of the Clio, a physical check for corrosion corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is necessary, as the MOT does not catch all forms of surface rust. The recent tyre failure highlights a need for proactive monitoring of tyre integrity, while the vehicle's age warrants a thorough look at the brake discs and caliper seals to ensure they have not seized during long periods of low use.
