2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SA63 FTC

The 2013 Renault Clio presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 October 2025 at 143,975 miles. The maintenance history shows no recurring defects or structural advisories across the recorded tests. A curious anomaly appears on 6 October 2025, where the vehicle failed at 143,974 miles with no defects recorded, only to pass the following day with zero faults. This suggests an administrative quirk or an instantly rectified minor issue rather than a persistent mechanical fault. Overall, the data indicates a vehicle that has required no significant repairs to maintain roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,075 miles annually. Between the May 2023 test at 110,593 miles and the April 2024 test at 126,381 miles, the Clio covered 15,788 miles in just under twelve months, indicating a period of heavier use. The subsequent interval from April 2024 to October 2025 saw a slower accumulation of 17,594 miles over eighteen months, reflecting a return to average driving patterns. The gap between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests covers exactly one year and 9,495 miles, demonstrating consistent, regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. While the MOT record remains entirely free of defects and advisories, a physical inspection remains prudent for a vehicle approaching 144,000 miles. The tester flagged no corrosion or suspension wear, yet buyers should manually examine the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and shock absorbers for signs of deterioration typical of high-mileage Renaults. Brake disc thickness and pad life warrant close scrutiny, as consumable wear often occurs between annual tests. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for corrosion or emissions irregularities, ensuring the engine management light remains extinguished during a road test. A clean MOT history reflects well on the previous owner's upkeep, but verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and the operational smoothness of the drivetrain will confirm the vehicle's true condition.
