2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · MW63 WTY

The most recent MOT test on 2025-12-04 returned a clean PASS at 162,185 miles, only four days after the previous test. The earlier failure on 2025-11-27 identified excessive wear on the nearside front ball joint and incorrectly aimed headlamps, both of which were rectified within days. The latest distortion on the offside front wheel suggests uneven stress on the suspension geometry or alignment issues that require immediate attention. The vehicle has accumulated over 162,000 miles in just over 12 years, averaging roughly 13,515 miles annually, which is high for its age. The MOT record shows a sparse pattern with gaps of several months between tests, particularly in 2024. The record is relatively clean, with only minor issues flagged, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard. However, the recurring wheel distortions and the split CV boot from 2023 suggest a pattern of neglect that a buyer should investigate further. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the suspension arms, CV boots, and wheel alignment. The brake pads are already flagged as thin, so checking the brake discs for wear is essential. Given the high mileage and the history of wheel distortions, assessing the structural integrity of the chassis and ensuring the undertrays do not obscure critical components is advisable.
