2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · LU15 MCM

The most recent MOT was on 2025-11-25 — just over six months ago — and it passed with no defects at 48,368 miles. That’s the cleanest and most reassuring result in the history. There’s an odd pattern of same-day or near-same-day pass/fail entries in both 2024 and 2023: failed on 2024-11-21 then passed on 2024-11-25 (same mileage), and failed on 2023-11-07 then passed later that same day (virtually identical mileage). These aren’t mechanical failures — they’re almost certainly administrative or procedural issues, like a missed light check, paperwork error, or tester inconsistency. No actual defects were recorded in any entry. The trend is stable — not worsening, not improving — because there are zero recorded defects across all five MOTs. Nothing has deteriorated visibly over nearly three years and more than 10,000 miles of recorded use. At 48,368 miles and just under 10 years old, this car averages under 4,840 miles per year — well below the UK average. That suggests light use, but doesn’t guarantee better condition. Low mileage can mean less wear or longer periods of inactivity, which risks dried seals, stiff suspension bushes, degraded brake fluid, stale fuel system components, or flat-spotted tyres.
