2021 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · KL05 STR

The Renault Clio Iconic TCE presents a clean MOT history, with both recent tests—June 2025 at 36,829 miles and December 2024 at 30,515 miles—resulting in a full pass with no advisories or defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no signs of recurring issues or deteriorating mechanical conditions. The absence of any failures or advisories over the past year suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained by its previous owner, at least in terms of the core safety-critical components assessed during MOT testing. The most recent test, just over a year ago, confirms the car meets all current DVSA standards for roadworthiness, including brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity. The mileage accumulation of 7,366 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either moderate urban/commuter use or periods of lower activity. The gap between the two MOTs—around six months—is typical for a car of this age, though slightly shorter than the maximum 12-month window allowed. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern; the steady progression without sudden spikes or drops implies consistent, if not particularly heavy, usage. Without earlier MOT records, it’s impossible to confirm long-term maintenance consistency, but the current data shows no immediate cause for concern regarding wear patterns or neglect. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT advisories or defects in the past year is reassuring, but a few key areas still warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Given the car’s age and mileage, the suspension components—particularly the front coil springs, rear shock absorbers, and suspension bushes—should be checked for wear or leaks, as these are common failure points on this model. The braking system, including brake discs, pads, and calipers, should be assessed for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the car has been driven in urban or wet conditions. While the MOT history is clean, a closer look at the undercarriage for signs of corrosion or structural damage, particularly around wheel arches and the rear subframe, is prudent, given Renault’s past issues with rust in certain models. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, even if not recorded in the MOT, as this is a consumable item often overlooked between tests.
