2021 Renault Clio 1.6L Hybrid electric · SD21 LDK

The 2021 Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-09 at 45,993 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. Earlier tests in 2024-04-20 show a pass and a failure at the same mileage, though neither entry notes specific defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical issues in the past 18 months, though the duplicate entry for 2024-04-20 raises questions about record accuracy. No recurring faults or escalating advisories are evident, indicating consistent maintenance practices. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,993 miles over five years equates to an average of 9,199 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The gap between the 2024-04-20 test (41,560 miles) and the 2025-05-09 test (45,993 miles) spans 13 months, reflecting regular but not excessive usage. No anomalies in mileage progression are apparent, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. The absence of advisories for critical systems like brakes, suspension, or exhaust suggests no immediate risks, but this does not preclude routine maintenance needs. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. The exhaust system, including emissions compliance, warrants scrutiny, as minor leaks or misfires may not register as defects. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the 2024 failure at 41,560 miles—despite no recorded defects—merits further investigation to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
