2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SD16 CCR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful pass on 22 August 2025 at 81,372 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a significant lapse in care immediately prior to that pass. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the failure in August 2025 revealed a cluster of mechanical and safety-related defects that required immediate attention before the vehicle could pass again. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles annually. The data shows a steady progression from 48,884 miles in September 2022 to 74,844 miles in September 2024, reaching 81,372 miles by the 2025 test. This regular accumulation suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, though the spike in faults in 2025 indicates that the owner may have only reacted to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front driveshaft CV boots, as both were flagged as split or insecure in the 2025 failure. Even if replaced, the buyer should check for grease leakage or excessive play which would indicate premature internal joint wear. The fuel tank exhaust shield must also be verified as present and securely fastened, as its absence previously posed a fire risk. Additionally, the failure to complete emissions off scale in 2025 suggests potential issues with the oxygen sensor or catalyst that should be monitored to ensure the engine is running efficiently.
