2015 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · YC65 HWD

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 56,495 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one week prior at 56,490 miles. This immediate rectification suggests either a minor administrative testing error or a trivial component issue that was corrected almost instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The current record indicates the car meets all legal safety and environmental standards for operation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,136 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between June 2023 (31,116 miles) and March 2025 (45,168 miles), where the car covered over 14,000 miles in twenty months. However, the usage has since slowed down again, with only 11,327 miles covered in the final year. This low annual mileage generally implies reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults over several years, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, which perish over time despite low mileage. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust that inhibits effective braking. The structural integrity of the sills and underbody is also essential to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the chassis during the vehicle's long life.
