2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · JA16 THO

The 2016 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 75,049 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected norm for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 49,633 miles in January 2022, rising to 55,884 by January 2023, 61,994 in January 2024, 68,660 in January 2025, and 75,049 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 6,400 to 7,400 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing no flagged items across the full history. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Absence of recorded advisories does not confirm the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, or underbody corrosion, all of which the MOT may pass while nearing wear limits. The Renault Clio platform is known to develop front strut top mount noise and rear axle beam rust by this age and mileage. Given the low defect history, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory test compliance, though no evidence exists of proactive component renewal beyond test requirements. Verify service records separately and probe structural integrity beneath sills and subframes before purchase.
