2018 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · MK68 FDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward developing consumable wear. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 May 2026 at 63,835 miles resulted in a pass but introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. This indicates that the rubber components are reaching the end of their operational life despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is highly consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 45,627 miles and May 2026 at 63,835 miles, the car covered 18,208 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no significant gaps in testing or long periods of inactivity, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly which typically helps prevent the seizure of sensors and mechanical components. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection, as the April 2024 test at 56,774 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn front discs. While these were likely addressed following the 2024 test, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the remaining pads and rotors. Additionally, the 2026 advisories regarding perishing on the rear tyres require immediate replacement, as age-related rubber degradation can lead to structural failure and safety risks irrespective of tread depth.
