2014 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SD64 UBS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 108,780 miles passed with an advisory for thin front brake pads, indicating that consumable wear is being monitored. While the car passed its latest inspection, the history reveals recurring issues with braking components and tyres that suggest faults are often only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At 108,780 miles over twelve years, the Clio has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,200 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents the Seizures of mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, specifically the condition of the brake pipes. The records from 2022, 2023, and 2024 all flagged corrosion on the rear brake pipes, with a formal failure in September 2024 for excessive corrosion. While this appears to have been rectified to pass, the buyer should verify that the new lines are free of degradation and that the fittings are secure. Additionally, the repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edges across multiple years indicate potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that should be checked to prevent further premature tyre wear.
