2010 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · WR10 TEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative. While it passed the most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 129,434 miles, it initially failed that same day on multiple faults including brake imbalance and lighting issues. The trend shows a recurring pattern of wear-and-tear items being addressed only after a failure, particularly regarding the deteriorating condition of the braking system across several testing years. At 129,434 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for its age. The data shows consistent intervals of roughly 5,000 miles between the annual tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. However, the low mileage relative to its age does not exempt it from age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as the discs have been flagged as pitted or scored in both 2024 and 2025, and a failure in November 2025 revealed an imbalance across the front axle. The steering geometry also requires attention; the history previously noted play in the steering rack inner joints in 2023 and a failed track rod end in 2024. A physical inspection should also verify the current security of the battery mounting and the condition of the spare tyre, as both were cited as insecure in the most recent report.
