Renault Clio RS Line Tce Auto (2020)
2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce Auto
CarHunch analysed 823 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2020 Clio RS Line is a solid performer, with an 89.1% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—meaning most owners aren't hit with surprise repair bills at MOT time. The 13% dangerous defect rate is manageable and below the warning threshold, so structural and safety issues aren't a widespread concern for this model.
These cars are running relatively light at 21,151 miles median (23,352 average), which is slightly below typical for a four-year-old, suggesting gentle use across the cohort. The average of 0.43 failures per vehicle and 2.5 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear is normal but serious problems are rare—if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the automatic gearbox and any previous advisory history will give you confidence.
What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce Auto
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.
