2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · YP64 ACX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history is too limited to establish a definitive trend. The most recent test on 13 April 2022 at 29,059 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for thin front brake pads. Because there are no recorded tests for the subsequent four years, it is impossible to determine if this mechanical issue was addressed or if the overall condition has deteriorated since that date. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,422 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has seen primarily short-distance trips, but it also introduces risks associated with age-related degradation rather than wear and tear. The four-year gap between the 2022 MOT and the current date indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to seized calipers, perished rubber components, and degraded brake fluid. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the previous record flagged thinning pads that required immediate attention. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and verify that the calipers move freely without binding. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also examine the suspension components for cracks in the bushes and inspect the shock absorbers for leaks, as these materials fail through age even when the vehicle is driven infrequently.
