2018 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · WA68 WRP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 11, 2026, at 73,405 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline characterized by a significant failure just three weeks prior. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the April 2026 failure indicates a reactive approach to repairs where components were only addressed once they reached failure limits rather than through preventative servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK use for a Renault Clio, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 42,053 miles in May 2023 to 73,405 miles in May 2026. The jump of 11,568 miles between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests suggests the vehicle has seen more frequent use in the last twelve months, which likely explains the sudden wear on the consumable items noted in the most recent failed test. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking and tyre systems in person. The April 2026 failure flagged front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit, pitted and scored discs, and structural bulges in the nearside front tyre. These issues suggest the front axle assembly was nearing the end of its life. Verify that the replacement parts are high-quality components and check that the offside rear tyre no longer shows signs of perishing or cracking, which was previously identified as a safety-related de-fect. The exhaust lambda reading failure in April 2026 indicates a potential issue with engine combustion efficiency or sensor health. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the buyer should monitor for irregular idling or changes in fuel economy to ensure the emissions system is not degrading. The lack of structural corrosion advisories across the years of history suggests the chassis remains sound, but the recent cluster of mechanical faults highlights a need for more diligent attention to routine maintenance schedules.
