2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · VE63 WTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 114,013 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a minor exhaust leak and pitting on the front brake discs. This follows a failure in early 2024 where a major exhaust leak and a lagging rear brake were identified, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold. At 114,013 miles over twelve years, the Renault Clio has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a hatchback. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 14,000 miles recorded by February 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the car is been used regularly, but the high total mileage places significant stress on age-related wear components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, as the record shows a transition from a major leak in 2024 to a minor leak in 2026, which indicates the manifold or piping is steadily corroding. The front brake discs are already scored and pitted, meaning they are nearing the end of their functional life. Additionally, the history of a lagging rear service brake and repeated uneven tyre wear warrants a physical check of the rear calipers and suspension alignment to ensure these components are not causing premature consumable failure.
