2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · CX16 UBA

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy based on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 9 April 2025 at 80,138 miles showing no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every annual examination from April 2023 onward cleared with no mechanical or structural faults noted. The duplicate 2025 entries, a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, indicate an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault, and no defects were listed on either. Annual mileage averages close to 8,000 miles against the car's ten-year life, a typical use profile for a 2016 supermini. The records show 56,877 miles on 13 April 2023, rising to 56,879 the next day, then 68,950 by 11 April 2024 and 80,138 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles in the final year, a moderate increase over prior periods but within normal bounds. The sparse, clean ledger gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The tester logged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet items such as tyre tread depth and wiper condition fall outside mandatory failure below threshold and may wear undetected between tests. Given the Clio's age, examine subframe and sill integrity for incipient rust and confirm the braking system operates free of binding calipers. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard with no recorded lapses. The same-day fail and pass in April 2025 suggests a paperwork correction, not mechanical neglect. On this evidence the car reflects consistent, if minimal, official scrutiny, and warrants only routine pre-purchase checks before purchase.
