2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SA64 AXZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 97,128 miles. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test suggests the immediate defects have been addressed, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate a period of significant neglect. The trend shows a temporary improvement only after major failures, suggesting the owner only performs repairs when strictly necessary to avoid failing a legal test. At 97,128 miles over 12 years, the Clio averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-to-moderate usage. The data shows a notable increase in activity between February 2023 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered over 8,400 miles in 20 months. This period of use coincides with a high frequency of wear-and-tear failures, including suspension arm bushes and brake components, suggesting the vehicle may have been subjected to demanding road conditions during these specific years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record repeatedly flags worn ball joints, suspension arm bushes, and a front wheel bearing. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the history shows instances of excessive corrosion across all four brake pipes in 2023 and binding rear service brakes in 2024. You should verify that the CV boots are now free of tears, as both were flagged as missing or split in late 2024. Additionally, check the offside front inner wheel for further distortion, as this was a noted issue across multiple consecutive tests.
