2016 RENAULT CLIO1.5L Diesel

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 August 2025 at 96,633 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records supplied. The August 2025 test followed a same-day failure at 96,629 miles, yet the DVSA entry records no defects against that failure, a pattern repeated on 14 August 2024 when a failure at 91,938 miles was followed two days later by a pass at 91,940 miles with no advisories. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical defects. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, rising from 87,999 miles at the August 2023 test to 91,940 miles in August 2024 and 96,633 miles by August 2025, an average of roughly 4,300 miles between annual tests and about 9,600 miles per year overall. The record shows no gaps beyond the expected twelve-month cycle and no rapid accumulation that would flag excessive drivetrain or suspension loading. The clean advisory history across all three passes indicates the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test or the car saw light enough use to avoid worn tyres, brake discs, or corroded structures being flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the Clio's age and the unexplained same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm freedom from minor corrosion or impending wear on exhaust emissions components, merely that the tester logged none. Verify the VOSA failure reasons for the two zero-defect fails, as the DVSA data provided offers no technical explanation for those outcomes.
