2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · ML64 NCO

The 2014 Renault Clio presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 118,416 miles on 12 November 2025 with zero defects recorded. That is a notable turnaround from the preceding two years, where the car failed in September 2024 and passed only with multiple advisories in October 2024. The most recent result suggests the previous owner addressed the outstanding issues promptly and has kept the car in good order since. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the September 2023 test at 98,586 miles and the October 2024 test at 109,665 miles, the car covered roughly 11,000 miles in just over a year, which is typical annual use for a 10-year-old supermini. From October 2024 to November 2025, mileage increased by only 8,751 miles, indicating slightly lighter use in the most recent year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that would raise concerns about clocking or long-term standing damage. Despite the clean 2025 result, the 2024 record flags a few areas that deserve a close physical inspection. The offside rear service brake was noted as binding in both the September 2024 failure and the October 2024 pass, which points to a recurring hydraulic or caliper issue that may have been repaired but should be verified on a road test for drag or uneven braking. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joint also showed slight play across both 2024 tests, so expect that component may be approaching replacement. Tyre wear was flagged repeatedly across all four corners in 2024, including a nail puncture on the offside rear, suggesting the previous owner deferred basic consumable upkeep. A thorough check of tyre condition, tread depth, and suspension bushings is advisable. The September 2023 failure for a fractured offside front coil spring is the most serious historical defect on record, though it was clearly rectified before the subsequent pass. That kind of fracture can indicate the car has endured rough roads or heavy use, so a close look at the remaining springs, shock absorbers, and subframe mounting points for corrosion or cracking would be prudent. Overall, the MOT record shows a car that had a rough patch in 2024 but appears to have been brought back to a solid standard by late 2025. A pre-purchase inspection focused on the rear brake system, front suspension, and structural underside condition should give a buyer confidence in the current state.
