2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · EX66 ABO

The 2016 Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent October 2025 test at 44,775 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within the parameters of its low annual mileage. The absence of advisories or critical failures indicates the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect notes limits insight into minor wear patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 44,775 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,478 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of rubber components, fluids, and electrical systems. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, with no abrupt spikes in mileage between tests. The 2023-2025 tests show gradual increases of 5,000–6,000 miles per year, consistent with low usage but warranting scrutiny of potential corrosion or seized mechanisms from stagnation. A buyer should inspect for signs of dry rot in tyres, steering, and suspension bushes, as well as brake disc warping from uneven use. The absence of exhaust or emission-related advisories is positive, but the low mileage may mask wear on clutch components or transmission fluid degradation. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the record, so a visual check for rust on chassis seams or underbody panels is recommended. While the MOT history reflects no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm components have not deteriorated from inactivity.
