2014 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · PN14 KXH

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness profile following its most recent pass on 13 August 2025 at 79,058 miles. This follows a period of instability where the car failed significantly in June 2024. The maintenance trend shows clear signs of improvement, as the mechanical defects flagged in previous years have been addressed. The transition from multiple failures in 2023 and 2024 to a clean certificate in 2025 suggests that the necessary repairs to the suspension and braking systems were completed. The mileage profile is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 65,279 miles in June 2023 to 72,555 miles in June 2024, and finally 79,058 miles in August 2025. This gradual accumulation indicates regular, moderate usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. The consistency in mileage between tests suggests the vehicle is likely used for routine commuting or local trips. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the front suspension and braking components, as these were recurring failure points. The June 2023 and June 2024 tests both highlighted issues with suspension arm ball joints and brake pipe corrosion. While the 2025 test recorded no defects, the history of split CV boots and worn tyres suggests that the owner may only address mechanical issues when they reach a failure threshold. Physical verification of the offside rear brake pipe and the condition of the front suspension ball joints is advised to ensure the previous repairs were robust. Checking the integrity of the CV boots and the tread depth on the front tyres will also confirm if the recent maintenance has been sustained. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the recent records is a positive sign, but the history of corroded brake pipes warrants a close look at the underside of the vehicle for any signs of advancing rust.
