2019 Renault Clio RS Line TCE Auto 1.3L Petrol · DX69 XDO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on April 25, 2025, at 42,893 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance history over the past three years, with no recurring failures or advisories. The September 2024 retest—just three days after a minor failure—suggests the issue was resolved promptly, though the absence of any recorded defects in prior tests indicates the vehicle has consistently met MOT standards. The latest test occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard three-year MOT cycle, though buyers should verify if the vehicle has been driven regularly since then. The recorded mileage of 42,893 miles over seven years equates to an average of approximately 6,128 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record, though the rapid accumulation of 3,000 miles between the September 2024 failure and retest (39,704 to 39,707) suggests either a brief period of heavy use or a quick resolution of a minor issue. The consistency of mileage increments—around 6,000 miles per year—implies the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could have led to neglected wear items like fluids or seals. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points on Renault Clio models. The absence of recorded advisories or defects does not preclude gradual deterioration, so buyers should check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate binding calipers or worn suspension parts. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted road conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this is a critical long-term risk for Renault models of this age. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as these are often overlooked in vehicles with clean MOTs but can degrade silently over time.
