What this means if you are buying a 2019 Clio Rs Line Tce
The 2019 is a weaker year for this model, passing 5 points less often than the Renault Clio Rs Line Tce average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2019 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.
What a 7-year-old car fails on
A 2019 car is 7 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck. On a 2019 Renault Clio Rs Line Tce the average at test was 31,685 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2021 at 91%, and the weakest in our data is 2019 at 83.5%. That 7.5 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2019 car against a newer one tells you very little.
