2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NK14 WTA

The 2014 Renault Clio presents a broadly stable maintenance trend with no serious structural or mechanical failures recorded. The most recent MOT on 24 April 2026 at 74,299 miles passed, though the tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin, front brake discs worn and pitted, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. These are consumable items that require prompt attention but do not indicate a deeper systemic fault. The car has not failed a test since April 2025, suggesting the previous owner addressed the offside rear inner tyre bulge and perishing issues that caused that failure. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for a twelve-year-old car. It has covered roughly 6,192 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate use. The jump from 62,050 miles in April 2024 to 68,105 miles in April 2025 represents about 6,055 miles in twelve months, and the car then sat at 74,299 miles by April 2026, adding another 6,194 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record, and the annual testing pattern suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for long periods. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front braking system and tyre condition. The April 2026 advisory on front discs being worn and pitted but not seriously weakened suggests the discs are near the minimum thickness and should be measured with a micrometer. The recurring tyre wear advisories across multiple tests, including inner edge wear and cracking, point to possible tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The offside front CV boot split noted in the April 2024 failure was rectified before the pass, but the joint should be checked for play and the boot inspected for fresh damage or grease loss. The repeated child seat obstruction preventing full rear seatbelt inspection is a minor administrative point, but a buyer should still manually check both rear belts for fraying and retraction.
