2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LS64 CHZ

This 2014 Renault Clio has covered approximately 78,363 miles, which averages to about 6,530 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it hasn't been excessively driven, but it also means components like rubber seals and tyres are subject to age-related degradation. The most recent MOT from February 2026 shows a pass, but the history reveals a concerning pattern regarding braking and drivetrain maintenance. The vehicle failed in early 2026 due to a split offside outer driveshaft CV boot and excessively binding rear service brakes. While the driveshaft issue appears to have been addressed for the pass, the rear brake binding issue is a recurring fault, having appeared in both the 2024 and 2026 failures. The condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of mechanical neglect. While the 2025 MOT was clean, the 2026 failure introduces new mechanical issues like the CV boot and repeats the brake binding problem seen two years prior. This suggests that while the car is being used regularly, certain mechanical maintenance items are being overlooked until they fail an inspection. The recent mention of perishing or cracking rear tyres is a classic sign of age-related wear rather than high mileage, which aligns with the relatively low annual usage. Before purchasing, you must personally inspect the rear brakes to ensure they operate smoothly without sticking and check the condition of all tyres for age-related cracking.
