2019 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · ML69 PDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 63,816 miles passed, it followed a failure just four days prior. That previous failure highlighted a de-worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and a damaged offside front tyre. The trend suggests that mechanical components and safety-critical items are only being addressed once they reach a point of legal failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals. The mileage progression of approximately 9,117 miles per year is consistent with a seven-year-old Renault Clio. The record shows steady usage, moving from 50,142 miles in October 2023 to 57,239 miles in November 2024, and then to 63,816 miles by late 2025. This consistent accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation but also contributes to the standard wear of rubber bushes and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The November 2024 test noted noise from the front driveshafts and wheel bearings, which often indicates internal play or bearing failure. Given the recurring issues with tyre sidewall damage and incorrect fitting, the current tyres should be checked for uneven wear or signs of impacting. The buyer should also verify the condition of the wiper blades and lighting units, as these previously failed, and ensure the child seat that restricted access during the latest test is not masking any further damage to the seat belt assembly.
