2022 Renault Clio Evolution TCE 1.0L Petrol · HN72 WJO

A clean MOT record across the last two annual tests signals that, at the time of inspection, no roadworthiness‑related defects were identified on the 2022 Renault Clio Evolution TCe. Both the 2025‑09‑26 and the most recent 2026‑09‑05 examinations returned a pass with no recorded advisories, suggesting the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions criteria consistently over the past twelve months. At 43,928 mi on the odometer the car averages just under 11,000 mi per year, a mileage profile that sits comfortably within the normal range for a four‑year‑old compact. The absence of any testing gaps between the 2025 and 2026 MOTs indicates continuous use rather than prolonged storage, meaning wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components will be in line with typical service intervals for this mileage. Although the MOT history shows no faults, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the test. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and feel for any vibration or pulsation through the steering wheel at speeds above 50 mph, which can reveal tyre or wheel imbalance. Test the brakes for consistent pedal travel and absence of judder; listen for any squeal or grinding that could indicate pad or disc wear. Inspect the suspension by applying firm pressure over each wheel corner; any excessive bounce or knocking may point to worn bushes or deteriorated shock absorbers. Finally, confirm that all lights, indicators and windscreen wipers operate correctly, and check for any signs of corrosion around wheel arches, under the chassis and at the exhaust mounting points. While the MOT data does not reveal structural issues, a visual and tactile survey of these areas will help ensure that hidden rust or damage has not developed since the last test. A short road‑test focusing on acceleration smoothness, steering alignment and any unusual noises will round out the assessment before committing to purchase.
