Renovated retreads checked (8)
I believe the answer is:
arrested
'checked' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'renovated retreads' is the wordplay.
'renovated' indicates an anagram.
'retreads' is an anagram of 'ARRESTED'.
(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "Apprehended by police" , "Stopped or slowed down progress" , "stalled" , "Stopped - took into custody" , "Seized and took into custody" .)
