2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · MF69 YBH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight downward trajectory regarding consumable component upkeep. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 88,729 miles passed despite advisories for cracking or perishing the offside rear and nearside front tyres. This follows a similar advisory in September 2023 regarding the offside front tyre, suggesting that the owner is delaying tyre replacement until they reach legal limits or visible failure points. The Clio has covered a significant distance for its age, averaging over 12,600 miles per year. This indicates consistent, heavy road use. Between the September 2022 test at 33,594 miles and the August 2024 test at 69,292 miles, the vehicle clocked nearly 36,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. While the 2024 test was clean of defects, the subsequent jump in mileage and the appearance of tyre issues highlight the nearing end of various rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and bushes, as high-mileage vehicles of this era often develop play in the control arms. The recurring mentions of perishing rubber suggest the vehicle may sit for short periods or uses low-quality tyres, which leads to sidewall degradation. Given the mileage, verify the brake discs for thinning and check the calipers for binding, while also inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion that has not yet triggered a structural failure.
