2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DN66 AAV

The Renault Clio holds a current roadworthy pass following the 9 January 2026 MOT at 133,981 miles, and the maintenance trend across its recorded history reads as stable. The most recent test logged no defects or advisories. This clean outcome repeats the 14 December 2023 pass at 110,132 miles and the 3 January 2025 pass at 119,416 miles. The DVSA record shows no escalating mechanical concerns. At roughly ten years old, the vehicle displays 133,981 miles, an average of about 13,400 miles per year, which is high for a 2016 supermini but not extreme. Mileage progressed from 110,132 at the December 2023 test to 119,416 by January 2025, a 9,284-mile gain over thirteen months. The subsequent jump to 133,981 by January 2026 adds 14,565 miles in twelve months. The data is sparse yet clean, with no gaps suggesting long disuse. Oddly, the 2025 and 2026 tests each show a failure logged on the same day or prior day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass; this pattern implies administrative retests rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-wear components that MOT entries may not capture. The tester logged no worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, or brake disc lipping, but at this mileage front lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes often degrade. Check for binding calipers and measure brake disc thickness, as city driving accelerates latent heat damage. Examine structural integrity around sill seams and suspension mounts for corrosion, given the age and salt exposure cycles. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries merit scrutiny of the official certificates to ensure no omitted advisories. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the high annual distance suggests harder use than a low-mileage example. Verify service history aligns with the odometer before purchase.
