2016 RENAULT CLIO1.1L Petrol

The 2016 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. In the August 2025 test at 47,874 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes. The most recent examination sits roughly eleven months before today's date, so the certificate remains current and the history shows no worsening mechanical condition across the five years on file. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for a ten-year-old car. The records show 31,433 miles in August 2021, rising to 36,145 in August 2022, 41,197 in August 2023, 44,342 in August 2024, and 47,874 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 to 4,500 miles added each year, averaging under 4,800 annually. Such low use suggests gentle commuting or prolonged standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage abuse, though the sparse single-entry-per-year data gives no visibility of interim faults. No advisories or failures appear in the sequence, so the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or exhaust issues at any stage. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous owners kept basic upkeep disciplined. The absence of recorded defects means no recurring fault pattern exists to track. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the car's age and likely static intervals, as MOT passes do not certify absence of early corrosion. Verify brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition despite no advisories, and confirm service history matches the low mileage. The Clio's record supports a sound purchase premise, but standing time can hide perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres that a road test would expose.
