Renault Clio Play Sce (2021)
2021 Renault Clio Play Sce
CarHunch analysed 481 real MOT records for the 2021 Renault Clio Play Sce. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Clio Play SCE punches above its weight with an 88.6% first-time pass rate, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 12.1% of cars have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below the threshold that would raise serious buyer concerns. The petrol engine variant passes at 88.2%, showing consistent reliability across the cohort.
At just under 20,000 miles median mileage for a 2021, these cars are running light, which explains the low failure rate of 0.36 per vehicle—routine maintenance rather than structural problems. With 1.7 advisories per car on average, you're looking at minor wear items rather than systemic issues; before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brake wear and fluid condition, as these will be the most common findings.
What to check before buying a 2021 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.
