2021 Renault Clio Lutecia SE TCE 1.0L Petrol · KP71 LXJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend points to a gradual deterioration in tyre condition and a persistent wiper‑blade fault. The most recent test on 2025‑09‑26 at 21 336 miles recorded a pass with advisories on both wiper blades and front/rear brake discs worn within limits. A retest on the same day at 21 836 miles failed primarily due to a front‑tyre cut reaching the ply, an offside front tyre worn to 2.48 mm with sidewall damage, and the same wiper‑blade defect. Brake‑disc wear remains stable across both tests, indicating no progressive deterioration in that system. Mileage accumulation shows a low overall average of roughly 4 267 miles per year for a five‑year‑old car, yet the period between the September 2024 test (16 131 miles) and the September 2025 test (21 336 miles) added over 5 200 miles in about eleven months. This spike suggests heavier recent use or possible off‑road/urban driving that accelerated tyre wear. The MOT record is sparse beyond these two annual entries, offering limited insight into longer‑term wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for cuts, sidewall integrity, and tread depth, checking the offside tyre for edge wear and any sidewall cracking. Examine the brake discs for uniform wear and listen for any pulsation or vibration that may indicate uneven thickness. Test the wiper blades for proper contact and replace if they show cracking or loss of flexibility. Review suspension bushes and shock absorbers for corrosion or excessive play, and look for any signs of rust or structural corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels.
