Hi, I checked the CV boots on my fwd phase II 2000 W Renault Scenic
yesterday and the ends closest to the wheels had slipped of slightly
(not completely).

Any idea how this happens?

On the other end of the CV boot (end nearer the centre of the car) is
a jubilee clip holding that end in place. There is nothing on the ends
that came loose. Should there be?

Thank you,

Neil

originally there was probably a thin metal band. A diy repair with a cable
tie is fine , just re-check after you have used it a bit, as some vehicles
put too much strain on a cable tie when the wheels are turned, in which case
you will need the correct clamp, which may need a special tool to fit, and
probably is not available on its own !!
