2016 Renault Unknown 2.3L Diesel · AY66 CFN

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT test on 7 October 2025 at 117,532 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with annual examinations from 2022 through 2025 returning passes and no advisories logged. The solitary anomaly occurs on 10 October 2023, when a test at 101,325 miles failed despite the record showing no defects; the vehicle then passed the same day with no faults listed, suggesting a clerical or administrative correction. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a decade-old car. From the 12 October 2022 test at 90,801 miles to the 7 October 2025 test at 117,532 miles, the Renault covered 26,731 miles over three years, averaging roughly 8,900 miles annually, slightly below the lifetime mean of 11,753. Annual testing cadence shows no gaps in statutory inspection. The clean slate of defect entries suggests previous owners maintained basic compliance, though the unexplained failure in October 2023 warrants a check of the full DVSA certificate for any omitted rationale. Prospective buyers should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car’s ten-year age and six-figure mileage, as these components degrade without necessarily triggering MOT advisories in a single test. Examine subframes and sills for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The absence of recorded faults does not preclude wear in drivetrain mounts or steering joints; a pre-purchase appraisal by a qualified technician remains prudent.
