2015 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · OV15 HWK

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 21 March 2026 at 77,730 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a period of flagged component wear and minor failures toward a defect-free result in the latest inspection. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests that previous issues have been addressed or have not progressed into more significant mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 67,952 miles in March 2023 to 77,730 miles in March 2026. This pattern indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway running. The intervals between tests are consistent, providing a reliable chronological view of the car's mechanical condition over the last three years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and tyres. The March 2023 test flagged a heavily corroded nearside front coil spring, which required attention to prevent structural failure. While the 2026 test shows no current defects, the history of corrosion suggests the underbody should be checked for further rust. The March 2025 record noted perishing and cracking on both rear tyres alongside a nail in the offside tyre, indicating that rubber degradation was an issue. The 2024 failure regarding a non-functional nearside dipped beam headlamp was a minor electrical fault, but it is worth verifying that the lighting assembly and wiring harness remain secure. Given the history of tyre perishing and spring corrosion, a close examination of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and the overall condition of the tyre sidewalls is recommended to ensure the previous maintenance standards have been maintained.
