2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · PY64 CCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 59,514 miles resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. While the car passed the retest the following day, the presence of all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they trigger an MOT failure or reach a critical threshold. At 59,515 miles, this twelve-year-old Clio has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between the October 2024 and 2025 tests, and about 9,500 miles between October 2023 and 2024. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals due to age rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the ball joint failure in 2025 indicates that other rubber bushes and link arms may be nearing the end of their functional life. The record shows recurring issues with tyre wear, specifically edge wear noted in 2023 and 2025, which often points to a persistent alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that have not been properly rectified. Additionally, since front brake pads were flagged as thin in 2023, a physical check of the remaining pads and discs is necessary to ensure they have been replaced since then.
