2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SM65 HGF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though it is currently out of test by nearly five years. The last recorded inspection in October 2021 at 111,375 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a good mechanical state at that time. However, because no tests have been logged since that date, the current condition of the brakes, suspension, and structural integrity remains unverified and carries a high risk of undetected deterioration due to the long lapse in professional monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a small hatchback, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant increase in usage between April 2019 (39,889 miles) and November 2020 (74,568 miles), where the vehicle covered over 34,000 miles in 19 months. Usage then slowed considerably, with 36,807 miles covered between late 2020 and late 2021. This suggests the vehicle saw heavy use during its middle years which typically places higher strain on drivetrain components and suspension-related wear items. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody to check for corrosion, as the vehicle has likely sat stationary for extended periods which causes accelerated rust on rubber components and brake lines. Given the gap since the last MOT, the inspector should specifically test for seized calipers, perished tyres, and worn suspension bushes. While the historical record up to 2021 shows a period of clean maintenance, the lack of recent data means any mechanical safety-critical components must be verified through a fresh inspection before purchase.
