2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · CL10 ABH

This vehicle maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 17,555 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes dating back to November 2020, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical readiness. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 1,756 miles per year. Usage remained very light between November 2020 and November 2022, with the odometer moving only 1,906 miles. A more significant increase in activity occurred between July 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered 5,866 miles. This shift suggests a change in usage patterns, but the lack of resulting defects in the 2025 test confirms the car handled the increased mileage without immediate mechanical degradation. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to worry about. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions is rare for a vehicle of this age. However, the very low mileage and periods of inactivity increase the risk of perishables degrading. A physical inspection should focus on components that suffer from standing rather than wear. Check the tyre date codes for age-related cracking and verify that the brake calipers have not seized due to disuse. The buyer should also inspect the battery health and check for any signs of perished rubber seals or coolant degradation, as these issues often bypass MOT testers but affect long-term reliability in low-mileage examples.
