2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · GU66 ACF

The 2016 Renault Clio remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 89,383 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend over the past three years shows stability, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged. Despite a failed MOT entry on 2024-09-06 at 76,719 miles—though no defects were recorded—the subsequent pass on the same date and mileage suggests either a data inconsistency or a resolved minor issue. The absence of structural, braking, or emissions-related failures in the latest test indicates the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,938 miles annually. The 2022-08-25 test at 57,822 miles to the 2025-08-18 test at 89,383 miles shows a steady accumulation of 31,561 miles over three years, with no significant gaps suggesting prolonged inactivity. The 2024-09-06 tests at 76,719 miles—both pass and fail—raise questions about data accuracy but do not indicate a pattern of mechanical decline. The MOT history lacks advisories for consumables or critical components, implying routine checks were sufficient. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the records is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody and chassis is recommended to confirm no hidden rust exists. Additionally, checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear could reveal long-term maintenance gaps, as the MOT history does not explicitly address these areas. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears sound, but a pre-purchase inspection should focus on wear items and hidden structural integrity.
