2013 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SL63 DSE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unreliable and not in a stable or improving trend . The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-02 was a failure at 46,276 miles, followed by a failed test on 2024-09-27 at 44,442 miles, with a passing test on 2023-10-03 at 41,630 miles. This sequence indicates a persistent and worsening condition, suggesting that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained since the initial failure in October 2025. The mileage pattern reflects a significant gap in data, with the most recent test occurring 15 months after the last recorded failure. The vehicle has maintained roughly 3,560 miles per year, which is low for a 2013 model, implying that the owner likely relied on a standard 3,000-mile test cycle without addressing the underlying mechanical issues. The lack of a passing test in the summer of 2024 suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced since the initial failure, leaving critical components in compromised condition. Given the failure in October 2025 and the subsequent failure in September 2024, the vehicle is in a state of structural risk . The driver must inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or excessive play, as well as the brake discs and calipers for excessive wear or binding. Furthermore, the brake pads and rotors should be checked for corrosion and wear, as the vehicle has been in the UK for over two years since the last MOT. The exhaust system and emissions components must also be verified for leaks or performance issues, as the vehicle has not been tested for these in the past.
