2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · SS16 EOD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a recurring pattern of immediate failures and passes. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 June 2025 at 101,259 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any issues identified during the failure that day were successfully rectified. While the history shows a failure immediately preceding the last two passes, the consistent clean pass results suggest the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults to keep the vehicle roadlegal. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 81,891 miles and the June 2024 test at 90,395 miles, the car covered 8,504 miles, followed by a jump of 10,864 miles leading to the 101,259-mile reading today. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, hoses, and tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in June 2024 and June 2025. Since the record does not list the specific defect codes for those failures, they likely involved common Clio wear items such as suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust system corrosion. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, a thorough check of structural corrosion on the rear subframe and the condition of the shock absorbers is essential to ensure no deeper mechanical degradation is developing beyond the items already addressed.
