2021 Renault Clio S Edition E-Tech Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · BP70 ODJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward mechanical wear components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 23,469 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for the offside front track rod end ball joint having play. This marks a departure from the clean record in December 2024, indicating that the steering geometry is beginning to require attention despite the vehicle's low overall mileage. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a significant time gap between January 2024 at 11,170 miles and December 2024 at 15,855 miles, during which the car covered only 4,685 miles. While the low usage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, the record indicates that long periods of standing or infrequent use may contribute to neglected consumables, evidenced by multiple tyre-related failures in 2024. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the offside front track rod end to ensure the play has not progressed to affecting handling stability or safety. The history shows recurring issues with tyres, including edge wear and cuts reaching the cords, which suggests the previous owner only addressed basic maintenance when an MOT failure forced action. Given the low mileage, the brake discs and calipers should also be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, as these often occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
