2024 Skoda Kamiq SE Edition TSI 0.9L Petrol · J8 TYG

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 39,376 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The only blemishes are two same-day failures on 26 September 2023 at 32,363 miles and 25 September 2024 at 35,597 miles, each immediately followed by a pass at marginally higher mileage with no defects listed. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than unresolved mechanical faults, and the vehicle shows no worsening condition across the record. The mileage confirms very light use for a 2016 car. It covered just 32,366 miles by September 2023, 35,601 by September 2024, and 39,376 by September 2025, equating to roughly 3,900 miles per year. The gaps between tests are consistent at close to twelve months, with no sudden accumulation or unexplained drops. Such low annual coverage over ten years implies prolonged standing periods are likely, which can allow corrosion, seized brake components, and degraded rubber bushes to develop even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. The MOT data flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or suspension wear, but standing time at low mileage often hides surface corrosion on subframes and brake discs, plus perished tyres or wiper blades from age rather than use. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2023 and 2024 warrant a check of the VIN and test documentation to confirm the failures were clerical and not suppressed defects. Given the clean advisory history and stable pass record, the Clio reads as a low-risk purchase for a careful owner. Prior keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing on time, though the ultra-low mileage means in-person checks on underbody condition and brake freedom matter more than the paper record suggests.
