2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · DG66 AEC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 19 September 2025 at 62,423 miles resulted in a pass with no defects despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was rectified immediately to meet minimum testing standards. The history shows a pattern of clean passes indicating that the mechanical components remain compliant over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 45,570 miles and the September 2024 test at 55,006 miles, the car covered 9,436 miles. The subsequent interval saw another 6,917 miles covered before the 2025 test. This steady usage reduces the likelihood of component degradation from long stationary periods while avoiding excessive wear from high annual mileage. While the records show no ongoing advisories, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 warrant a physical inspection of the components that typically trigger such retest failures. A buyer should check the condition of the brake linings and discs for uneven wear, and inspect the suspension bushes for tearing or perished rubber. Given the age of the Clio, a close look at the structural integrity for surface corrosion on the sills and mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden rust is developing despite the clean MOT history.
