2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · LS64 YBR

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2014 Renault CLIO is poor , as the vehicle has failed the MOT twice in a row with no remediation, indicating a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 was passed at 86,870 miles, but this was preceded by a failed inspection on 25 October 2024 at 73,345 miles. This gap of 13,525 miles suggests that the vehicle has accumulated significant wear since the 2024 inspection, particularly in the front braking system where the brake discs were found worn, pitted, or scored. The maintenance history reveals a pattern of intermittent failure, with the most recent failed test occurring on 20 October 2023 at 66,117 miles. This indicates that while the vehicle has been tested periodically, the underlying mechanical condition has not stabilized, and the wear pattern is consistent with a progressive mechanical failure rather than an isolated event. The mileage accumulation over the past two years (from 16 October 2025 to 25 October 2024) is substantial, averaging approximately 6,764 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and typical usage. However, this high mileage is not uniformly distributed; it is disproportionately concentrated in the front braking components, where the brakes and brake discs were identified as worn and pitted, and the brake pipes as corroded. The lack of a clean, cleanable history for these specific parts implies that the owner has likely failed to perform regular preventative maintenance or have replaced worn parts without cleaning them, a pattern that is characteristic of vehicles with poor roadworthiness. The absence of a 2024-2025 MOT record suggests that the vehicle was likely tested in 2023 or 2024, which creates a significant risk of a new MOT failing in the future. Given the recurring faults in the front brakes, brake discs, and brake pipes, combined with the structural failure of the front coil spring, the vehicle presents a serious risk of imminent failure. The presence of pitted brake discs and corroded pipes indicates that the braking system is compromised, which could lead to dangerous stops and potentially lead to a total loss of braking power. The coil spring fracture, while not directly related to the brake discs, suggests that the suspension and chassis are also in a state of significant degradation. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person immediately, checking the brake pads, discs, and calipers for wear, inspecting the brake lines and pipes for corrosion, and verifying the suspension bushings and springs for structural integrity. Failure to address these issues now could result in an immediate MOT failure and further damage to the vehicle's structural integrity.
