2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LX68 XOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on October 21, 2024. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the most recent failures involved only minor consumable items rather than mechanical or structural defects. The October 2024 failure was limited to an insufficient washer fluid delivery, which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass result. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT requirements when faults are raised. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, recording only 27,772 miles representing an average of approximately 3,472 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 5,513 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 6,523 miles prior that. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the physical condition of the tyres and brakes, as the October 2022 failure highlighted a damaged sidewall on the nearside rear tyre and thin front brake pads. While these were addressed, the low annual mileage means brake discs may suffer from surface corrosion or pitting from infrequent use. Given the age of the car relative to the mileage, a physical check for perished suspension bushes and cracks is advisable, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
