RENAULT CLIO2016 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2016 Renault Clio demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 confirming no defects at 73,965 miles. Previous tests from 2025-04-08 and 2024-04-10 also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2025-04-08 at 70,733 miles recorded no defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest test indicates the car is currently fit for use, though the failed MOT entry raises questions about potential unresolved issues not documented. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,396 miles annually over 10 years. The records show consistent intervals between tests, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps that might signal neglect. From 66,171 miles in 2023 to 73,965 miles in 2026, the vehicle’s usage remains within expected parameters. The sparse defect history, combined with the lack of high-mileage wear indicators, suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. However, the 2025-04-08 failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny, as it may reflect non-compliance with specific technical standards not captured in the MOT’s defect log. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, merits close examination for binding or uneven wear, which could arise from inconsistent servicing. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion is common in older vehicles despite no evidence in the MOT records. While the history shows no immediate risks, the 2025 failure and lack of detailed defect data mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
