Renault Clio RS Line Tce (2020)
2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce
CarHunch analysed 1,246 real MOT records for the 2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Clio RS Line TCe is a reliable first-time passer with an 87.6% pass rate well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting good build quality and owner maintenance habits. However, 16.1% of these cars have picked up a dangerous defect at some point, which is higher than ideal and worth investigating on any used example you're considering.
At just over 24,000 miles median age for a four-year-old car, these Clios are running light, which bodes well for longevity. The 0.47 average failures per vehicle is solid, though the 2.9 advisories per car suggest minor wear items like brake pads and filters crop up regularly—budget for routine servicing and get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm any dangerous defects have been properly addressed.
What to check before buying a 2020 Renault Clio RS Line Tce
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.
