2010 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · T70 EAD

The most recent MOT on 16 April 2026 at 35,514 miles resulted in a pass. It noted front brake pads wearing thin on both sides and slight free play in the steering rack. Compared with the clean passes of February 2025, February 2024 and May 2023, the current advisories indicate a minor deterioration in wear items while core systems remain sound. Recorded mileage shows a very low usage of roughly 2,220 miles per year since the car’s first test in May 2015 at 8,130 miles. The test history is consistent with annual examinations and no significant gaps appear between entries. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of standing or light use rather than high‑mileage wear on consumables. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the front brake pads for thickness and even wear, as the advisory indicates they are approaching the service limit. The steering rack should be checked for excess play or noise, noting the slight free play flagged in the 2026 test. Tyre condition warrants close inspection; the history shows repeated edge wear, mismatched sizes on the same axle in May 2023 and occasional perished or cut tyres in earlier years. Wheel rims have been recorded as slightly distorted on multiple occasions, so a visual and run‑out check of both front wheels is advisable. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting functions correctly, given the past failure of an off‑side position lamp in June 2020.
