2019 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · MW69 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in December 2025 at 58,520 miles, but the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test showed a significant failure involving multiple safety-critical defects, including exposed cords on front tyres and severe brake wear. While the car passed the re-test on the same day, the transition from multiple failures to a clean certificate indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage progression is consistent with typical light-use patterns, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 22,000 miles between the December 2023 test at 18,392 miles and the December 2024 test at 40,492 miles, followed by another 18,000 miles leading to the 2025 inspection. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, which explains the consistent wear observed on consumables across the annual testing intervals. A buyer must focus closely on the front braking system, as the December 2025 failure flagged thin pads, worn discs, and imbalanced braking across the axle. These issues suggest that the braking components were neglected until they reached a dangerously thin state. Furthermore, the recurring issue of tyres worn to the inner edges in 2023 and 2024 indicates a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that have not been professionally rectified. A physical inspection should verify the current suspension geometry and the condition of the front wishbones to ensure the trend of premature tyre wear has actually stopped.
