2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SJ19 CSB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on November 2025 at 65,289 miles, but the immediate maintenance history reveals a period of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Two consecutive failures occurred within a 48-hour window in late November 2025 due to binding rear service brakes, poor parking brake efficiency, and critically low front tyre tread. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the cluster of failures suggests the owner only addressed faults upon inspection failure rather than performing scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. The record shows progression from 35,771 miles in November 2023 to 50,557 miles in November 2024, reaching over 65,000 miles by the 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used for regular commuting, which typically places expected wear on consumable components like the brakes and suspension, as evidenced by the data. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, given the history of binding rear drums in 2025 and corroded front brake pipes noted in 2024. The 2023 report of thin pads and pitted discs further suggests the braking components may be nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the front suspension should be checked for uneven wear, as previous tests flagged edge wear on tyres in 2023 and legal limit depths in 2025, which can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
