2021 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · FV71 UVK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 21,427 miles resulted in a pass, the advisories regarding both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge indicate that the owner is neglecting basic tyre maintenance compared to the previous interval. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,285 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 16,892 miles and the July 2025 test, the car covered only 4,535 miles. This low-frequency use suggests short-distance trips or long use, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can occasionally lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and the degradation of rubber-based suspension components due to stationary periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front alignment and suspension, as the edge wear noted in the 2025 MOT record often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes and shocks. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake calipers have not seized due to infrequent use. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test suggests the structural integrity and primary mechanical systems remain sound, provided the immediate tyre replacement is addressed.
