2009 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · NX59 WRF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend despite recurring issues with front end components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 115,678 miles resulted in a pass but flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This mirrors a defect from August 2023 at 109,673 miles, indicating a persistent neglect regarding tyre replacement intervals. The mileage pattern is relatively consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between August 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered 11,022 miles in just eleven months, reaching 120,695 miles. However, the mileage returned to more normal levels by the October 2024 test at 111,038 miles, which suggests a recording discrepancy or very short usage during that specific period. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry due to the recurring edge wear on the nearside front tyre. This pattern suggests potential misalignment, worn ball joints, or failing top-pins that are causing premature tyre degradation. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the age of the Renault Clio necessitates a close check for rust on the subframe and exhaust mounting points which are common failure points for this model.
