2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · VF16 BBO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 16 August 2025 at 51,704 miles showing no defects. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 46,450 miles, suggesting the car has entered a period of consistent upkeep. The absence of advisories in the last two testing cycles indicates that previous minor issues have been addressed and no new mechanical or structural concerns have surfaced recently. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,170 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental growth, moving from 29,228 miles in July 2019 to 51,704 miles in August 2025. This consistent pattern suggests regular, short-distance usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals often found in vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. Historical data reveals minor issues related to tyre wear and condition. The August 2023 test at 42,818 miles flagged a nearside rear tyre for cracking or perishing, while the August 2021 test at 35,176 miles identified a nearside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. These findings point to occasional lapses in basic consumable maintenance rather than systemic mechanical failure. The edge wear noted in 2021 specifically suggests a potential for minor wheel alignment or suspension bush issues. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing and check the wheel alignment to ensure no recurring uneven wear develops. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or brake system failures, the low mileage means the vehicle should be checked for any signs of fluid leaks or battery health issues common in cars with lower annual usage. Focus on the suspension components and tyre condition to confirm the previous tyre-related advisories remain resolved.
