2020 Renault Clio RS Line TCE 1.0L Petrol · CE20 ECY

The overall roadworthiness of the 2020 Renault CLIO RS LINE TCE is currently unsafe for driving, as the vehicle has failed twice on the MOT record. The most recent test on 2026-03-23 was passed, but this is followed by two failed tests in July 2025. This pattern indicates that the vehicle's mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly over the past 12 months, suggesting a trend of worsening maintenance rather than stability. The current status is unsafe to drive, and the vehicle requires immediate professional inspection and potential repair. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap in the vehicle's operational history, with the most recent test occurring on 2026-03-23 at 39,795 miles. The vehicle has not had a MOT taken in the period between 2025-07-07 and 2024-07-09, creating a significant gap of over two years where the vehicle was not serviced. This lack of records suggests that the owner may have been absent for extended periods or that the vehicle was driven for very little time during the gap, which can lead to accelerated wear on components like the suspension or brakes. The rapid accumulation of miles since the last test implies that the vehicle is approaching the limits of its mechanical capability without regular servicing. In terms of recurring faults and structural risks, the MOT records highlight multiple issues including offside rear tyres, worn brake pads, and low tread on both front and rear tyres. The failure to maintain these components suggests that the owner has likely been skipping basic upkeep or relying on a trusted third-party service provider who may have failed to report issues promptly. The presence of both front and rear brake issues, combined with the low tyre wear, indicates that the drivetrain and suspension are likely in poor condition. Given the failure of the vehicle twice within a short timeframe, the structural integrity of the chassis and the safety of the occupants are at risk, necessitating immediate action to replace worn parts and address suspension issues before the vehicle reaches the legal limit.
