2016 Renault Clio 1.1L Petrol · SK66 OHD

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 52,469 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since 2022. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2016 vehicle. From the 23 August 2022 test at 41,457 miles to the 20 August 2025 test at 52,469 miles, the car covered just 11,012 miles over three years, averaging under 3,700 miles annually. The DVSA record shows no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps; the only anomaly is a failed test on 16 August 2023 at 45,209 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 17 August 2023 at the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage combined with the car's age means fluids, brake calipers, and suspension bushes may have degraded through inactivity rather than wear. Standing periods promote corrosion on brake discs and underbody structures even when the tester records no advisories. The absence of any flagged items across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes without advisories do not confirm component condition. Examine the exhaust system, subframe, and coil springs for rust, and verify tyre sidewalls for perishing from low use before purchase.
