2013 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SD63 VGG

The 27 July 2026 MOT at 43,060 miles resulted in a failure, meaning the vehicle is presently not roadworthy until the listed defects are corrected; the trend is clearly worsening, as brake pipe corrosion and suspension wear have recurred in every test since 2020. Mileage has risen from 4,364 miles in August 2016 to 43,060 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 3,300 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old car; however, the increase accelerated between 2022 and 2023 (from 25,353 to 30,408 miles) and again from 2025 to 2026 (from 37,990 to 43,060 miles), suggesting periods of more intensive use or longer intervals between tests. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the brake lines for active corrosion and evidence of replacement, examine suspension components such as ball joints and bushes for excessive play, verify tyre tread depth and overall wear, and check the exhaust system for leaks and Lambda reading compliance; confirming that the 2026 failures have been addressed will be essential for assessing true roadworthiness.
