2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DP16 FSE

This 2016 Renault Clio has a mileage of 64,846 miles, which averages to roughly 6,500 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a moderate level of use rather than heavy commercial driving or long periods of neglect. The most recent MOT from June 2025 shows a pass, but the failure immediately preceding it reveals a recurring pattern of neglected maintenance. The vehicle has consistently struggled with lighting issues, specifically headlamp aim and lens defects, and shows a trend of recurring suspension and tyre problems. The mechanical condition trend appears to be worsening. While the mileage is moderate, the MOT history shows a repetitive cycle of issues with consumables and minor components. For example, tyre wear and damage have appeared in multiple consecutive tests, and suspension components like ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages have been flagged for play or excessive wear in recent years. There is also evidence of past issues with brake components, including worn discs and a corroded rear brake pipe. While the brake pipe was noted in 2024, the recurring nature of tyre and suspension faults suggests the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with servicing. Before purchasing, you must inspect the tyres thoroughly for uneven wear and age-related cracking, as this has been a persistent issue.
