2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · OV15 HWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 107,352 miles resulted in a pass, the advisories highlight three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This mirrors a pattern seen in April 2023 at lower mileage, suggesting that the owner only replaces consumable components when they approach failure or during the inspection period. At 107,352 miles over 11 years, the Clio has averaged approximately 9,760 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The records show consistent annual usage, with roughly 8,600 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 8,700 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the mechanical seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 failure due to play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, combined with recurring advisories for worn brake discs across three years, indicates the front-end components are reaching their service limit. The edge wear noted on multiple tyres in the 2026 test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
