2020 Renault Clio Iconic TCE 1.0L Petrol · YY69 FRF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of neglected consumables and reactive mechanical repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 37,259 miles passed with multiple advisories regarding the front tyre pair, specifically noting sidewall damage, cracking, and perishing. This suggests a pattern where the previous owner deferred replacing rubber components until they reached a regulatory failure point, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 19,235 miles in early 2023 to 32,545 miles in early 2025, and finally 37,259 miles by the 2026 test. While the low mileage is generally positive, it explains the perishing of the tyres, which often occurs due to age-related degradation rather than high-mileage stress. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The failure for a worn offside front suspension arm bush in January 2024 at 26,599 miles indicates that rubber components are reaching the end of their lifespan. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory for worn brake discs and low pads suggests the front braking assembly is nearing a significant service interval. Given the recurring issues with tyre sidewall damage across the last three tests, the current tyres should be checked for immediate structural integrity to ensure no deep cracking exists beyond the surface advisories.
