2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · MA66 XHC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking components and the exhaust system. The most recent test in February 2026 at 51,613 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs alongside an offside front tyre reaching the legal tread limit. This follows a similar advisory from February 2025 at 45,555 miles where the discs were already noted as lipped, indicating that the owner failed to replace them despite the previous warning. At 51,613 miles over ten years, the Clio averages approximately 5,160 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age group. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the February 2025 and 2026 tests. However, the low annual usage appears to correlate with age-related degradation, as evidenced by multiple advisories for perishing and cracking tyres across various axles between 2022 and 2023. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system, as corrosion has been a persistent issue since at least 2025. The structural integrity of the exhaust needs verification to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a structural failure. Additionally, the front brake discs require immediate replacement as the recurring pitting and scoring suggest significant surface wear that could affect performance. The buyer should also check all remaining tyres for sidewall cracking or bulging, as the history indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite the low mileage.
