2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · HT16 VBZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 41,902 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes extends across the last five years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older French hatch. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,190 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 29,773 miles and December 2025 at 41,902 miles, the car covered only 12,129 miles. This consistent low annual usage suggests light use, which typically limits the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the car sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no history of flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mileage. Check the tyres for significant sidewall cracking or flat spotting, which are common in low-use vehicles. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear, and while the tester did not find binding calipers, long periods of inactivity can lead to seized pistons. Inspect the underbody for any early signs of surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the lack of recorded advisories.
