2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · WA68 WRE

The Renault Clio maintains a valid MOT status following the test conducted on 4 September 2025 at 26,859 miles. While the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections, the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in the condition of consumable items. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple advisories regarding tyre integrity and brake disc wear in 2025 indicates that the vehicle has reached a stage where significant replacement of wear-and-tear components is now required. The vehicle displays a low average annual mileage of approximately 3,357 miles, which is significantly below the national average for an eight-year-old car. The mileage progression is consistent, moving from 8,557 miles in September 2021 to the current 26,859 miles, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for long durations. This usage pattern typically reduces stress on the drivetrain, though the recent tyre issues suggest that the car may have been stored in conditions that accelerated rubber degradation or that the suspension geometry requires professional alignment. Prospective buyers must prioritise an immediate inspection of the front brake discs and all four tyres. The 2025 MOT flagged inner edge wear on the front tyres alongside cracking on both the front and rear sets, which points to potential tracking misalignment or age-related perishing of the rubber compounds. Furthermore, the recurring advisory for worn front brake discs noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests that these components are nearing the end of their service life and will likely require replacement in the near future. Ensure the suspension components are checked for play, as the tyre wear patterns often mask underlying issues with bushes or ball joints on these models.
