RENAULT CLIO DYNAMIQUE S NAV DCI2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The Renault Clio presented a clean pass at the most recent test on 3 April 2026 at 107,709 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthy status. Maintenance trend across the available history reads stable, with every pass showing no advisories. A failure logged on 15 March 2026 at 107,208 miles carries no listed defects, pointing to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection cleared within weeks rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Mileage stands at 107,709 against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,771 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The record shows a gap between 29 November 2022 at 70,584 miles and 9 March 2024 at 88,171 miles, where the overdue test passed but leaves a seventeen-month void with no formal inspection. Subsequent accumulation stayed moderate, reaching 94,213 miles by February 2025 and 107,208 by March 2026, reflecting steady commuting rather than harsh high-speed touring. Buyer should still commission an independent inspection of core wear components despite the absent advisories. Renault Clio suspension bushes and front coil springs commonly fatigue by this mileage, and MOT testers often record such items as passing while still within tolerance. Brake discs and calipers require physical measurement, as binding calipers or thin discs escape detection until worn beyond limits. Underside structural integrity deserves scrutiny for corrosion around sills and rear axle mounts given ten winters of exposure. The unexplained March 2026 failure warrants a request for the original refusal sheet from the seller or DVSA. Such entries often stem from trivial non-itemised issues such as lamp alignment or plate legibility, yet verification protects against hidden repeat faults. The documentary history shows a generally clean trajectory with one overdue interval, suggesting the previous owner kept the car roadworthy but not always to a strict calendar.
