2021 Renault Clio S Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · SA71 JVC

The 2025‑10‑10 MOT at 21,017 miles recorded a pass, confirming that the vehicle met all legal requirements at that point. No mechanical failures were noted, and the sole advisory concerned the off‑side front tyre, which was worn close to the legal limit. This indicates a stable maintenance trend with no worsening mechanical issues beyond routine tyre wear. The recorded mileage of 21,017 miles on a 2021 registration averages about 4,200 miles per year, a figure that appears low for a five‑year‑old car. The previous test on 22‑10‑2024 at 15,850 miles shows an increase of 5,167 miles over the subsequent eleven months, indicating a recent acceleration in usage and suggesting the vehicle has been driven more intensively since the earlier inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension components – bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers – for signs of wear, binding or corrosion, and verify that the brake discs and calipers are not excessively worn or seized. Particular attention to the structural integrity of the chassis, the condition of the exhaust system and the presence of any rust on the wheel arches is advisable. The repeated tyre wear on the off‑side front wheel suggests possible mis‑alignment or uneven loading, so checking wheel alignment, tyre pressure history and the condition of the suspension linkage is essential before final purchase.
