2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition TCE 1.0L Petrol · SD72 LPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 15, 2025, but the recent inspection history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. On that same date, at 71,662 miles, the tester flagged front brake pads at only 1.1mm thickness and front discs that were pitted and scored. The immediate pass following these failures indicates that the previous owner addressed critical components only upon failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 71,662 miles in just four years, this Clio has covered approximately 18,000 miles per annum. This figure significantly exceeds the national average for a passenger car, suggesting heavy motorway use or high annual mileage. Such rapid accumulation accelerates the wear on consumable components and suspension hardware. The mechanical stress reflected in the October 2025 test confirms that the braking system is reaching the end of its functional lifecycle under these conditions. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the replacement discs and pads were high quality and fitted correctly. Given the previous failure for scored discs, it is essential to check for binding calipers which might have caused the uneven wear. The high mileage also demands attention to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often show signs of fatigue after 70,000 miles. Verify the service history to confirm that the oil and engine fluid changes have occurred at the intervals required for such a high-use vehicle.
