2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NG14 WUE

The 2025‑07‑31 MOT confirms the 2014 Renault Clio remains roadworthy, but the presence of a worn near‑side rear coil spring and a partially failed off‑side rear stop lamp indicates that the vehicle is not without advisories. These recurring suspension and lighting defects, together with earlier reports of binding rear brakes and excessive suspension wear, show a pattern of deteriorating mechanical components rather than a stable or improving condition. The mileage of 73,793 at 12 years equates to roughly 6,150 miles per year, which is typical for its age, yet the record reveals a notable acceleration between July 2024 and July 2025, when the odometer rose from 61,844 to 73,793 miles – an increase of almost 12,000 miles in 11 months – suggesting more intensive use in recent years. Apart from this recent surge, the intervening periods show steady growth from 19,412 miles in 2017 to 56,214 miles in mid‑2023, with no extended periods of low usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear coil spring and associated suspension bushes for cracks or excessive wear, test the operation of all rear lamps and the parking brake for proper function, examine the front suspension ball joints, arms and tyre wear patterns for uneven tread, and look for any signs of chassis rust or damage to the drive‑shaft CV boots that have previously failed inspections.
