Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 1,216 vehicles, the 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.5%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

This Clio is a strong performer, with a 92.4% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 4.9% of vehicles, so you're not inheriting a structural problem. The petrol TCE engine shows no reliability red flags in the MOT records.

At around 19,000 miles for a two-year-old car, these Clios are running light mileage, which explains why failures average only 0.11 per vehicle and advisories just 0.7—there's simply less wear. When you buy one, budget for routine maintenance rather than remedial work, and check the full service history to make sure early intervals weren't skipped despite the low miles.

The 2022 Renault Clio Iconic Edition Tce passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
