2017 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SB17 MZD

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following a successful MOT test on 15 June 2026 at 72,082 miles. This recent pass, which recorded zero defects, indicates a positive trend in maintenance standards compared to the previous two years. The absence of any advisories suggests that the current owner has addressed prior concerns, resulting in a stable and reliable roadworthiness status as of the latest inspection. The recorded mileage of 72,082 miles over a nine-year period aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. Annual distance covered remained consistent throughout the vehicle's life, with the exception of the 2020 testing window which was impacted by the national COVID-19 extension. There are no indications of long-term storage or periods of neglect, as the mileage accumulation has been steady and predictable since the first test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the offside front brake pipe. While the 2026 test recorded no defects, this specific component was flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2024. Even though the issue appears resolved, the recurring nature of this fault suggests that the underlying metal may have been subject to surface degradation. Verify that the repair was performed to a high standard, as brake pipe corrosion is a critical structural concern that can compromise hydraulic integrity if left untreated. Beyond the braking system, the overall history is remarkably clean for a Renault Clio of this vintage. The lack of recurring suspension or exhaust system advisories points to careful driving habits. Ensure that the brake pedal feel remains firm during a test drive and check for any signs of weeping fluid near the offside front wheel arch to confirm that the previous corrosion repairs remain effective and durable.
