2022 Renault Clio Iconic ED E-Tech HEV A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LT72 OUN

A single MOT test conducted on 15 September 2025 at 64,039 miles resulted in a pass, accompanied by an advisory noting that the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit with wear concentrated on the inner edge. Because this represents the sole test recorded in the vehicle history, a broader long-term trajectory cannot be established, but the initial evaluation indicates that front-end geometry or tracking requires immediate attention to prevent premature rubber degradation and ensure proper directional stability. Covering roughly 16,010 miles annually over its four-year lifespan, the Clio exhibits a high-intensity usage profile that significantly exceeds typical private mileage expectations. This sustained level of high-mileage operation suggests frequent operation, likely involving motorway transit or intensive fleet use, which places accelerated thermal and mechanical cycles on the hybrid drivetrain, high-voltage battery management systems, and foundational chassis components. During your physical inspection and test drive, pay close attention to the front suspension geometry and steering response, as the inner-edge tyre wear flagged in the test record can point toward tracking misalignment, worn track rod ends, or fatigued lower control arm bushes. Listen carefully for any knocking or clonking noises from the front corners when traversing speed humps or uneven road surfaces, which would indicate physical play in the suspension joints. Additionally, evaluate the regenerative and friction braking system for smooth transition and pedal feel, and inspect the inside shoulder of the nearside front tyre to confirm the severity of the wear noted by the examiner.
