2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · OV66 DBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 with 35,547 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record consistently shows no defects or advisories across the passing tests. While the car experienced failures in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes following these tests indicate that any identified issues were rectified promptly without establishing a pattern of recurring mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,555 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 20,438 miles and August 2024 at 29,178 miles, the car covered 8,740 miles, followed by another 6,369 miles in the subsequent year. This low annual usage suggests short-distance city driving, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can increase the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brakes seizing due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should investigate the specific reasons for the failures in August 2024 and August 2025, as the provided summary does not list the exact faults found. Given the low mileage and age, a physical inspection should focus on signs of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods. Checking the chassis for early-stage corrosion on the structural points is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden surface rust over the decade.
