2022 Renault Clio RS Line E-Tech HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · BP22 OTC

The DVSA MOT history for this 2022 Renault Clio RS Line E-TECH HEV contains a single recorded test, carried out on 22 July 2025 at 17,274 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or failures. With only one entry on file and no prior passes against which to compare, it is not possible to identify a maintenance trajectory; the record simply confirms that the vehicle cleared inspection at that point in time. No defects, advisories, or component flags were issued by the tester. The mileage profile shows the vehicle has covered roughly 4,318 miles per year, which is substantially below the typical usage rate for a four-year-old hybrid of this class. Annual figures of this nature can indicate light running, short-trip motoring dominated by urban cycles, or extended periods of standing. Lower-than-average mileage tends to reduce wear on major drivetrain components, but it can also mask issues linked to infrequent use, such as brake corrosion from seized calipers, perished suspension bushes due to dry storage, and degradation of brake fluid and 12V battery condition. No mileage jump or irregularity can be assessed, as only one reading is available. Given the hybrid powertrain specification, a prospective buyer should look beyond the MOT certificate and have the high-voltage battery state of health, hybrid system diagnostics, and recall status verified through a Renault main dealer or suitably equipped specialist. On a physical inspection, attention should be directed to the rear brake calipers and discs for surface corrosion, the brake lines and flexible hoses for perished rubber, and the underbody for any corrosion on suspension arms and coil springs. The tyres should be checked for age-related sidewall cracking rather than tread depth alone, as low mileage often leaves tyres original but hardened. Finally, the auxiliary 12V battery, inverter coolant, and any warning lights on the hybrid system should be interrogated via the on-board diagnostic system. The MOT data supplied is sparse and offers limited diagnostic insight, presenting only a clean recent pass rather than a longitudinal service narrative. Buying Score: 64. Risk Level: Medium.
