2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · NG64 HMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the latest test in August 2025 at 71,885 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one mile prior involving multiple mechanical faults. The record shows a recurring issue with the braking system and suspension components, suggesting that the owner only addresses these defects when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing routine inspections to catch wear early. At 71,885 miles over 11 years, the Clio averages approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 7,700 miles driven between August 2023 and 2024, and another 8,500 miles between August 2024 and 2025. However, the low mileage often masks the accelerated degradation of rubber components and fluid lines, which aligns with the specific mechanical failures noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking architecture and suspension. The nearside and offside brake pipes have been flagged as corroded and covered in grease for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025, indicating a potential attempt to hide structural metal decay from the tester. The repeated failure of the nearside front suspension arm ball joint in 2024 and the split offside front CV boot in 2025 suggest the front-end geometry is reaching the end of its service life. The buyer should also verify that the minor exhaust leak noted in 2025 has been properly rectified, as these often lead to future emission failures if ignored.
