2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SH66 SZC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-roadworthy due to a persistent and worsening mechanical trend, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-19. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and an excessively corroded outer brake pipe on the 2025-08-05 test, indicating that structural integrity and binding conditions have not been maintained for at least two years. This failure pattern suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to sudden brake failure and potential structural compromise. The mileage accumulation is rapid and inconsistent , creating a significant gap between the 2024-08-08 test and the 2026-02-19 test. The vehicle moved from 51,909 miles to 63,584 miles, representing a gap of 11,675 miles in just three months. This rapid mileage increase, combined with the failure of the rear brake lining on the 2026-02-19 test, indicates that the vehicle may have been driven with insufficient fuel efficiency or frequent short trips, which accelerates wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the binding condition of the rear brake pads and the extent of corrosion on the outer brake pipe on the 2025-08-05 test. Given the history of failed binding and corrosion, the suspension bushings and coil springs are at high risk of failure under normal driving conditions. Structural integrity must be verified, as the excessive corrosion on the brake pipe could compromise the braking system's ability to stop the vehicle effectively.
