2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · RM18 MCD

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-05 shows a fail for the front windscreen washer providing insufficient liquid, recorded at 36,666 miles. This is a minor defect (3.5 (a)) and likely a simple fix, such as a low fluid level or a faulty pump. However, it is the only defect in the entire MOT history, which otherwise shows four consecutive passes from 2022 to 2025 with no recorded issues. The vehicle’s MOT history reveals a stable condition over the past four years. All passes occurred at progressively higher mileages (25,351 to 36,666 miles), with no recurring or escalating defects. The single fail in 2025 is isolated and does not indicate a broader mechanical trend. There is no evidence of worsening issues, such as repeated brake, suspension, or engine-related failures, which would suggest deteriorating condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 36,666 miles at 8 years old is significantly lower than average for its age, equating to roughly 4,583 miles per year. This could reflect light use, infrequent driving, or periods of inactivity. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear on components like brakes and tyres, it may also lead to issues such as fluid degradation, battery weakness, or seized moving parts if the vehicle has not been regularly driven.
