2013 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · ST13 OAC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent record of passing inspections. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 57,302 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two miles prior. This pattern suggests that while minor issues or consumable items occasionally require immediate attention before a test, the overall mechanical and structural integrity of the Clio remains compliant with safety standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows steady, light usage with a 5,524-mile gap between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 10,235 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This low-frequency operation typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based parts like bushes and seals becoming brittle over time if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Since the record shows no advisories for corrosion or suspension play, the priority should be checking for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches which is common in this Clio generation. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and check the brake discs for surface pitting, as these components often suffer when a vehicle is not used frequently.
