2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · RO16 OVU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on October 24, 2025, with 63,258 miles recorded. However, the history shows a failure earlier on the same day due to a serious defect on the offside rear tyre. The tester recorded a cut in the tyre that was deep enough to reach the ply or cords, which is a significant safety concern that required immediate rectification. This failure establishes a clear and recurring risk pattern regarding tyre condition. In the previous year, on November 21, 2024, the car also failed its MOT initially due to a bulge in the offside front tyre caused by structural separation. Failing two consecutive MOTs on separate corners of the car for different types of tyre damage suggests the vehicle may be striking kerbs, driving on debris, or suffering from alignment issues that are damaging the tyres. Aside from these tyre failures, the overall mechanical trend appears stable. The MOT records for the passed tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all show zero defects or advisories. This indicates that standard wear items such as brakes, suspension, and steering components have been maintained well and are not currently showing signs of deterioration. The mileage of 63,258 miles is roughly typical for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging about 6,300 miles per year.
