2021 Renault Clio Iconic SCE 1.0L Petrol · S7 TRR

The 2021 Renault Clio Iconic SCE presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 7 May 2026 at 30,301 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is particularly significant given the vehicle's history. A failed test on 3 May 2025 at 26,972 miles flagged worn front brake pads below the 1.5 mm minimum, worn front brake discs, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit. The same mileage re-tested and passed on 3 May 2025, confirming those items were rectified promptly. Since then, two consecutive clean passes indicate the previous owner addressed the defects and has maintained the car to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,060 miles per year is typical for a five-year-old supermini and suggests regular rather than sporadic use. The 3,329-mile gap between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests is unremarkable for a low-mileage vehicle. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concerns about long periods of inactivity or tampering. The record is sparse but clean, with only four tests logged across the vehicle's life, which is expected for a car just over five years old. The May 2025 failure is the only meaningful flag in the history, and it centred entirely on front brake wear and tyre condition. These are consumable items, and the fact they were replaced before the re-test suggests the owner responded appropriately rather than neglecting basic upkeep. No suspension, steering, exhaust, or structural defects have ever been recorded. A prospective buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person, as the 2026 test was conducted only six weeks ago and the car has covered minimal mileage since. Check the tyre sidewalls for uneven wear that could indicate tracking or suspension bush degradation not yet severe enough to trigger a tester's attention. The underbody and inner wheel arches deserve a visual inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as these are common failure points on Clios as they age beyond five years.
