2026 Renault Clio Esprit Alpine TCE 1.0L Petrol · NE56 AVS

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 9 October 2025 at 99,919 miles, where no defects or advisories were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a single momentary failure in October 2024. The immediate rectification of that failure just four days after the test suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing safety-critical issues to ensure the vehicle met legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a vehicle of this age. The car covered 23,926 miles between October 2022 and October 2024, representing an annual average of roughly 8,000 miles. However, between the October 2024 test and the October 2025 test, the vehicle clocked another 9,317 miles in just twelve months. This high-frequency usage profile typically puts significant strain on wear-related components compared to average-mileage de-risked vehicles. Given the six-figure mileage milestone, a physical inspection must focus on the condition of the suspension geometry and braking system. The buyer should check for signs of premature wear on control arm bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage usage often accelerates rubber fatigue. The brake discs and pads should be visually inspected for excessive thinning or signs of binding calipers, as the record does not detail the specific state of the friction materials during the passing tests.
