2017 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · WU67 TCY

Recurring advisories concerning braking components and tyre wear define the mechanical profile of this Renault Clio, despite its most recent pass on 04 September 2026. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of wear on the front braking system, with advisories for worn, pitted, or scored brake discs appearing in both 2024 and 2026, following earlier notes on brake pads and drums in 2021. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record without major failures, the repeated mention of brake disc deterioration and tyre edge wear suggests a pattern of component depletion that requires close monitoring. The vehicle has covered 124,012 miles over its nine-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 13,779 miles. This usage level is higher than the typical UK average for a small hatchback of this age, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this higher mileage profile increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain parts, which is reflected in the frequent advisories for tyres and braking surfaces throughout the recorded history. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the front braking system during a test drive. Given the recent advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs, it is essential to check for any pedal judder or vibration when applying the brakes at various speeds, which can indicate disc thickness variations or warping. Additionally, the previous advisory for a corroded nearside rear coil spring in 2023 suggests that suspension components should be inspected for structural integrity. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as these could signal worn suspension linkages or failing spring mounts. Tyre condition and alignment also warrant scrutiny due to historical advisories regarding inner edge wear and tyres approaching legal limits. During the test drive, the vehicle should be checked for any pulling to one side or steering instability, which could indicate that previous tyre wear was caused by incorrect wheel alignment. Finally, while the most recent test noted the presence of an undertray, ensure this is securely fastened and not dragging, as it is a common area for debris accumulation or minor impact damage in higher-mileage vehicles.
