2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SA63 DXJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards age-related wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 97,498 miles identified an oil leak, which the tester deemed not excessive enough to cause failure. This marks a departure from the clean record in late 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of mechanical degradation as it approaches six-figure mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows regular usage, with 6,745 miles covered between the December 2024 and November 2025 tests, and another 6,014 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components despite the inevitable wear on moving parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the engine bay due to recurring issues. The tests in 2022 and 2024 flagged the front brake discs as pitted, scored, or worn, while the 2024 test also noted a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. The oil leak identified in late 2025 requires a close visual inspection to determine if it originates from a simple valve cover gasket or a more significant seal. Given the age, checking the suspension bushes and exhaust system for corrosion is also necessary to ensure the consistent mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
