For 1.8 7 speeders

You can only request for an EKG test at the SC to verify your mechatronics system is in good health. The clutch needs no test, this is something that you can feel the moment you go from 1st gear to 3rd, literally the car will be shaking if the clutch is worn.

This is also why the car suffers poor resale, its feels like driving a ticking timebomb - every time you start the car, there's always that fear in the back of the head that something will go wrong.
