2020 RENAULT CLIO RS LINE TCE AUTO1.3L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, despite a recent minor failure. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 27,510 miles followed a failure just three days prior due to a non-compliant horn and a damaged nearside rear tyre. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical requirements rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between September 2023 (6,677 miles) and August 2024 (16,328 miles), where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in eleven months. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between tests can lead to degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the most recent tyre advisory. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of all tyres for perishing or cracking, as the 2025 failure indicates the nearside rear tyre suffered from age-related damage despite the low mileage. The tester should also verify the horn operation to ensure the previous repair was permanent and check the brake discs for corrosion, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. There is no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, suggesting the chassis and primary components remain in good condition.
