2022 Renault Clio Techno TCE 1.0L Petrol · AV72 VBA

The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights a specific issue with both the nearside and offside front road wheels being slightly distorted. While the MOT history is very limited, the recurring pattern of wheel distortion suggests the vehicle may have encountered significant impacts, such as deep potholes or kerbing, which has affected both front wheels. This is a structural concern for the wheels rather than a mechanical engine fault. The vehicle's mileage of 12,215 over approximately four years is notably low, averaging just over 3,000 miles per year. This suggests light usage, but such low mileage can sometimes imply the car has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to other issues like perished rubber components or seized brakes. The condition trend appears stable due to the lack of previous entries, but the presence of two distorted wheels is a specific red flag that needs addressing. When inspecting the car in person, your priority should be a thorough check of the alloy wheels for any signs of cracking or further deformation, and a close look at the suspension components and tyres to ensure no underlying damage was caused by the same impacts that distorted the wheels.
