2015 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SH15 VPJ

The overall roadworthiness status for this vehicle is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-08-09 at 73,629 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a nearside front tyre, indicating that the braking system requires adjustment or repair rather than being in safe working condition. The maintenance trend is deteriorating rather than stable, as the car has failed twice on suspension components and the brakes have become increasingly problematic since the 2022 test. The mileage pattern suggests rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on the front axle and suspension, which is consistent with an older model vehicle. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 passes is significant, with the 2023 test occurring just two months after the 2022 one, yet the 2023 result was a failure on the ball joint, while the 2024 and 2025 tests passed. This rapid progression of faults indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected during the ownership period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components, specifically the suspension bushings, brake discs, and ball joints, noting that the 2023 test revealed a slight play in the suspension arm joint which may indicate premature wear. Given the history of failed suspension tests and a failing brake system, the vehicle requires immediate professional assessment to determine if structural damage or functional failure exists before proceeding.
