2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · DY22 VLA

The vehicle presents a clean MOT record with both tests resulting in a pass and no defects or advisories recorded. The most recent test in March 2026 at 14,912 miles follows a similar outcome from the April 2025 test at 13,755 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical issues flagged by the official inspection. However, the data span is sparse, covering only two tests over approximately four years of the vehicle's life, which limits the ability to assess long-term consistency. The recorded mileage of 14,912 miles is exceptionally low for a 2022-registered vehicle, averaging roughly 3,728 miles annually. The gap between the two MOT tests spans 11 months and 1,157 miles, suggesting very limited use, potentially as a secondary or seasonal vehicle. Such low annual mileage can mean reduced wear on consumable items like brake pads and clutch, but it raises separate concerns regarding deterioration from prolonged inactivity, including potential seal drying, tire flat-spotting, and battery health issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components susceptible to problems from disuse, despite the unblemished MOT history. Priority areas include the braking system for binding calipers or disc corrosion from lack of use, all four tyres for age-related cracking or flat-spotting, and suspension bushes for hardening. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion, and the engine and gearbox oils verified for condition, as infrequent short trips can lead to fuel dilution or moisture accumulation. The clean MOT record is positive, but it does not capture the full mechanical state influenced by such low utilisation.
