2015 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · OV15 HWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of artwork and tyre-related issues. While the most recent test in September 2025 passed, it highlighted distortions on both the nearside front and nearside rear road wheels. This issue has persisted since at least 2021, suggesting a recurring mechanical defect or impact damage that has not been rectified. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, having covered only 18,094 miles, which averages to approximately 1,645 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals, with only 351 miles driven between the September 2024 and 2025 tests. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low annual mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and braking system performance due to lack of regular use. A buyer should physically inspect the wheels for signs of significant impact damage, as the distortion has been noted in three consecutive MOT tests and could potentially cause vibration at higher speeds. Additionally, given the 2022 report of tyres worn to the limit with sidewall damage, the current set of tyres must be checked for age-related cracking and depth, regardless of tread wear. The service light noted in 2023 is also a prompt to verify that oil and fluids have been changed annually despite the low mileage to prevent internal corrosion.
