2020 Renault Clio Iconic Blue DCI 1.5L Diesel · HT69 VRR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 34,647 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle and bringing it up to a high standard following previous warnings. The mileage pattern is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,774 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage with an increase of roughly 7,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,200 miles the following year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or brake corrosion if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay particular attention to the tyre history noted in the January 2024 test at 21,454 miles where all four tyres were flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and on the edges. This specific wear pattern often indicates a past alignment issue or incorrect camber settings rather than simple mileage exhaustion. An in-person inspection of the suspension bushes and steering geometry is necessary to ensure this uneven wear has not caused lasting component damage. Given the lack of structural corrosion or brake system failures in the records, the vehicle appears well-cared for. The clean sheets from the 2025 and 2026 tests confirm that the car is not currently suffering from recurring mechanical failures. Focus the physical inspection on verifying the condition of the current set of tyres and checking for any weeping brake calipers to ensure the low-mileage usage has not resulted in surface rust on the rotors.
