2021 Renault Clio RS Line E-Tech HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · CE21 KWT

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 12 February 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears highly stable, as the vehicle has a consistent history of passes with only a single minor failure regarding a missing offside rear position lamp, which was rectified within six days. The absence of recurring advisories or significant mechanical defects suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 61,102 miles over approximately five years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 12,220 miles per annum. This is considered high for a small hybrid hatchback, indicating a usage profile likely consisting of frequent commuting or longer journeys. While higher mileage increases the wear on consumables and drivetrain components, it is generally preferable for the health of the E-Tech hybrid battery system compared to a vehicle that has suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT record but higher-than-average mileage, a physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear items. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, listening for any clunks or knocks during a test drive that could indicate fatigue. Inspect the brake discs for scoring or lip formation and ensure there is no shuddering under braking, as high mileage can lead to accelerated wear of the friction materials despite the benefits of regenerative braking. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes and filter replacements have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which may suggest a need for wheel alignment, and check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing. Finally, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is maintaining a strong charge and that the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is seamless and devoid of excessive vibration.
