2022 Renault Clio Evolution TCE 1.0L Petrol · KP72 APX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in September 2025, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The failure at 28,696 miles highlighted multiple immediate consumable issues alongside an offside headlamp aim misalignment. While the car passed the subsequent re-test, the presence of worn brake discs and thin pads suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached legal limits rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 28,696 miles over four years, the Clio has averaged approximately 7,174 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent with typical national driving averages and suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to extreme mileage stress. However, the fact that the front tyres and brakes were failing simultaneously at this relatively low mileage may point to the vehicle being driven primarily in short, urban cycles, which can accelerate uneven wear on friction components. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking assembly and suspension geometry. The 2025 record noted pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin pads, so a buyer must verify that these were replaced with high-quality components rather than budget alternatives. The advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the front axle suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent rapid degradation of the next set of tyres. Ensure the headlamp aim remains correctly adjusted to avoid another failure in future tests.
