2016 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · LB66 ADO

The 2016 Renault Clio holds a current MOT pass dated 2026‑03‑16 at 69,463 miles, confirming it is roadworthy today. The maintenance trajectory shows improvement: after a series of failures in 2020‑2021, the vehicle returned to clean passes from late 2021 through 2024, with the most recent test recording no advisories. The brief setback in November 2023—tyre tread depth and front brake pad wear—has not recurred, indicating that corrective actions addressed the identified issues and the car’s condition has stabilised. Mileage progression aligns with typical ageing for this model, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. The annual increments are fairly consistent from 2020 to 2024, ranging between 7,600 and 10,500 miles, then slowing markedly to just 4,125 miles between late 2024 and the latest test. This deceleration suggests either reduced usage or periods of storage, which can be advantageous for wear‑related components. The MOT record provides a continuous timeline without significant gaps, offering a reliable view of the car’s ageing pattern. A prospective buyer should focus inspection on the recurring fault categories. Tyre condition remains the primary concern: verify tread depths across all four tyres, look for uneven wear or cuts, and ensure the rear tread pattern is fully visible. Brake system health is also critical; examine front brake pad thickness, listen for caliper binding, and check disc surface for scoring. The wheel‑spigot mountings noted in the 2022 test merit close scrutiny—inspect for excessive wear on the mounting edges and assess suspension bushes for cracking or excessive play. Finally, a thorough visual check for rust around wheel arches, underbody panels, and any signs of corrosion on the exhaust system will help gauge long‑term structural integrity.
