2020 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · S6 YLM

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, following a period of recorded tyre wear in mid-2023. The most recent inspection on 09 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the issues flagged two years prior regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear have been addressed. The progression from advisories for near-side and off-side front tyre wear in July 2023 to a defect-free certificate in 2024, 2025, and 2026 shows a trend of maintaining roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 26,935 miles against a six-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 4,489 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which typically places less cumulative stress on high-wear components such as the engine, gearbox, and braking system. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes correlate with shorter trips or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect the condition of rubber components and fluid degradation, though the MOT records do not specifically flag any such issues. Given the previous advisories concerning the inner edge wear on both front tyres in 2023, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's wheel alignment and suspension geometry. While the recent clean tests suggest these issues were resolved, any remaining misalignment can lead to premature tyre degradation. During a test drive, listen for any uneven road noise or vibrations through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, and check for any pulling to one side when the steering is released on a level surface. Specific attention should also be paid to the front suspension components to ensure the previous tyre wear was not symptomatic of wider issues. Monitor the vehicle for any knocks or clunks when driving over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension bushes or ball joints. While no structural corrosion or fluid leaks have been noted in the official records, the low mileage profile warrants a visual inspection of the underside for any signs of surface oxidation or weeping from the dampers.
