2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · LS65 BKG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 25 July 2025. While the car recorded a failure on the day immediately preceding the last two annual tests, these appear to be administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical defects, as no specific faults were logged by the examiner. The absence of long-term advisories or recurring technical failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard over the past three years. Accumulating 73,309 miles over an eleven-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 6,664 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected usage parameters for a vehicle of this class. The consistent, low-intensity mileage accumulation indicates regular, predictable use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history to suggest long-term storage or hidden periods of neglect. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical assessment of common Renault Clio failure points that do not always trigger an immediate test failure. Prioritize an inspection of the front suspension coil springs for signs of fatigue or snapping, as these are frequent failure items on this chassis. Check the rear brake discs for heavy corrosion or uneven wear patterns, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers due to infrequent use. Verify the structural integrity of the subframe and sills for surface oxidation, and confirm that all electronic dashboard functions remain operational, as intermittent electrical faults are not always captured during the standard MOT procedure.
