2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DA16 FRV

The 2016 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 July 2025 at 66,625 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared that test with no defects logged, recovering from a failed attempt on 23 June 2025 at 66,484 miles where the tester recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests from 2022 through 2024 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,662 miles per year against the 66,625 miles recorded. The records show steady annual use: 47,462 miles in July 2022, 52,224 in June 2023, 61,309 in June 2024, and 66,484 by June 2025. No abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear in the data, and the sparse clean-sheet history offers little evidence of neglected consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record raises no flags but cannot confirm component condition between tests. The June 2025 failure with zero recorded defects warrants clarification from the selling party, since DVSA systems normally log a reason for refusal. Given the low annual mileage, check for corrosion on structural underbody members and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. No recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories appear across the five tests supplied. The clean pass pattern implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance current, though it does not evidence proactive maintenance beyond MOT thresholds. Pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remains sensible given the vehicle's age.
