2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · RA65 UTL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test in December 2025 at 26,585 miles. This follows a minor failure in late 2024, which was immediately rectified. The overall trend shows no recurring defects across the last four years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained consistent despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage recorded between November 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered 12,806 miles in just thirteen months. This contrasts with the previous period of much lower activity, such as the 279 miles driven between December 2022 and December 2023. Such patterns indicate the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can impact the condition of rubber components and fluid integrity. A buyer should prioritize the condition of the tyres, as the 2024 failure highlighted deep cuts in both the offside front and rear tyres reaching the cords. Given the low mileage and potential for long stationary, a physical inspection must check for flat spots or sidewall cracking due to age. The braking system should also be closely examined for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation on discs. Additionally, the suspension bushes should be checked to ensure they have not perished from periods of being being left stationary.
