2016 RENAULT CLIO1.1L Petrol

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 47,016 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing cleanly once administrative re-tests were completed. Prior to this, the January 2026 and January 2025 records each show a fail on the day before the pass at near-identical mileages (47,011 and 40,366 respectively), yet no defects were listed on either failure. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and the car has carried no advisories across any recorded test. At roughly ten years old the Clio shows 47,016 miles, an average of about 4,700 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 37,408 miles in January 2024 to 40,366 in January 2025, then to 47,016 by January 2026. Annual use stayed low and consistent, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps beyond light yearly driving. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumable replacement, though low mileage over a decade can conceal perished rubber components from lack of movement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items degrade with age irrespective of mileage and the MOT record omits advisories that might have flagged early wear. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity for corrosion, particularly beneath sills and subframes where standing damp accelerates rot. The twin fail-pass pairs in 2025 and 2026 with zero defects warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match, but no recurring mechanical fault emerges from the data itself.
