2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SA16 BDV

The 2016 Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 54,449 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 18 March 2025 at 50,300 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two successive examinations without advisories or faults. Mileage sits low for a ten-year-old car at 54,449 recorded miles, averaging roughly 5,445 miles per year. The records show steady annual use: 45,784 miles on 6 March 2024, 50,300 miles by March 2025, and 54,449 miles by March 2026. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged across any test, so no wear trends on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes can be inferred from the history itself. Two failed tests appear on 6 March 2024 and 17 March 2025, both at 45,784 and 50,300 miles respectively, yet the records list no defects and the car passed on the same day in each case. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and implies the previous owner addressed whatever halted the first attempt immediately. No recurring structural, brake, or corrosion problems emerge from the file. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection given the low mileage and likely periods of standing. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for seizing after inactivity, and inspect underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for hidden corrosion not captured in a pass result. The clean MOT trail suggests competent basic upkeep, but it does not substitute for a hands-on appraisal.
