2020 Renault Clio Play Sce
CarHunch analysed 514 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Clio Play Sce. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Renault Clio Play SCE is a reliably built car, with an 89.5% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate of 10.5% is reassuringly low, suggesting these cars are mechanically sound across the board.
At just over 23,000 miles on average, these Clios are lightly used for their age, which explains the low failure count of 0.41 per vehicle. The 2.4 advisories per car typically point to minor wear items rather than structural problems—when you're shopping, focus your inspection on brakes and suspension components, as these tend to show up first in the advisory lists.
What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Clio Play Sce
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
