2019 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SW19 NWH

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , with a clear deterioration trend evident from the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-07, which failed on the nearside front road wheel. This failure indicates that the car has not been adequately maintained since the 2023-04-13 test, where it passed on the same day. The failure in the September 2023 test at 12,889 miles suggests that basic upkeep was skipped prior to that date, leading to progressive wear on critical components. The mileage pattern indicates a significant gap in the 2026 test, with the vehicle having accumulated approximately 2,800 miles since the 2023-04-13 test. This accumulation is consistent with a vehicle that has been driving for several years, as the 2024-04-12 test was recorded at 14,353 miles. Such a gap in the 2026 test suggests that the car has undergone substantial wear, particularly on the drivetrain and suspension, which is consistent with a vehicle that has been maintained for over two years. Given the recurring faults and the lack of a recent MOT, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks. The most critical concern is the binding rear brakes, which is a serious mechanical risk requiring immediate professional assessment. Additionally, the failed MOT on the nearside front road wheel indicates that the suspension or wheel bearings may be compromised, necessitating a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and wheel alignment. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the exhaust system and ensure that the brake discs are in good condition, as the history of a failed MOT on the 2026 test suggests that the brakes have not been serviced in a timely manner.
