2021 Renault Clio S Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · AE71 WHA

The Renault Clio S Edition TCE presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 24,991 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 28 September 2024 at 18,711 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicates the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspection criteria. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a five-year-old vehicle. Between September 2024 and September 2025 the odometer advanced only 6,280 miles, an average of roughly 4,998 miles per year across the car's life. Such low accumulation suggests gentle commuting or extended standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. The record shows no gaps in testing and no sudden jumps in mileage, so the history is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items that a pass certificate does not detail. Low-mileage cars left standing often develop flat-spotted tyres, degraded suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on brake discs from moisture. The tester raised no advisories on coil springs, brake calipers, or structural integrity, yet these components warrant a physical check given the vehicle's age and likely periods out of use. Given the absence of any recorded faults across both tests, no recurring mechanical trend requires correction. The prudent step remains a pre-purchase examination of underside corrosion, exhaust emissions under load, and clutch or drivetrain condition, none of which the MOT history disputes.
