2010 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · WJ60 KWS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, despite a history of intermittent failures during testing. The most recent inspection on 27 August 2024 at 98,437 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day at the same mileage. This suggests that identified issues were rectified rectified prior to the pass, indicating an owner willing to maintain operational standards when prompted by regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage usage profile, averaging approximately 6,152 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 13,212 miles between the August 2022 test at 80,716 miles and the August 2023 test at 93,928 miles, followed by another 4,509 miles in the final year. This slow accumulation indicates relatively low mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of rubber components and seals degrading due to age rather than use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the record does not list specific adviseories for common Clio failure points like corrosion. Since the 2022 and 2024 tests involved failures without listed defect descriptions, a thorough check of brake lines, suspension bushes, and bolts is necessary to ensure no underlying issues remain. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of fluids and the state of rubber hoses is essential to confirm the low mileage has not masked significant environmental wear.
