2019 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SW19 NWC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred component replacement. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 78,847 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside a perished offside rear tyre. This represents a progression from the December 2024 test where thin front pads were noted, suggesting the previous owner was waiting until components approach failure before performing maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK use for a small hatchback, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 12,848 miles recorded between January 2024 and December 2024, followed by another 12,797 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation confirms the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods but has been subjected to regular motorway or city use, which places expected stress on wear items and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking system, as the transition from thin pads to scored discs indicates the hardware may be nearing the end of its functional life. The recurring mentions of perishing tyres in 2024 and 2025 suggest the rubber may be degrading due to age rather than tread depth, necessitating a thorough check. Furthermore, verify the suspension bushes and tyre arm bushings for cracking, as the record shows a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive upkeep.
