2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · SW68 GVJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 46,340 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from advisory-heavy tests to a clean record suggests that the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to the required safety and emissions standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage patterns with a gap of 10,450 miles between October 2023 and January 2025, and another 10,430 miles recorded leading up to the January 2026 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the intervals can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between these tests. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking assembly, given the issues recorded during the December 2022 test at 22,757 miles. That test flagged pitted brake discs, thin pads, and an edge-worn nearside front tyre, which often indicates an alignment issue or sticking calipers. While the subsequent tests passed without defects, a buyer should verify that the current discs and pads show even wear and check the suspension bushes for signs of cracking, which can affect low-mileage vehicles due to age rather than distance.
