2020 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · HV70 LCW

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history, marked by failures in the two most recent annual MOT tests. In the most recent inspection on 16 June 2025 at 42,707 miles, the car passed without recorded defects, suggesting that previously identified issues were addressed. However, the failure on 25 June 2024 at 31,167 miles indicates a period where mechanical or safety-critical components did not meet roadworthiness standards. This pattern suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance, with interventions occurring upon failure. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year since its initial registration in 2020. The data recorded in August 2023 at 19,942 miles shows a vehicle with relatively low usage at that stage. The subsequent 11,225 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests likely accelerated wear on consumable items, such as tyres, suspension bushes, and brake pads, which aligns with the failure noted during the June 2024 test. A prospective buyer should verify the specific reasons for the failures in 2024 and 2025 to determine if the faults were related to structural integrity, braking systems, or exhaust emissions. While the June 2025 pass indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the history of intermittent failures necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and underbody to ensure no lingering corrosion or mechanical play remains. The current record reflects a vehicle that is functional but requires consistent monitoring to maintain safety standards.
