2016 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · WN16 VUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on May 6, 2026, at 24,337 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has avoided recorded defects since a failure in the previous year. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum legal standards without immediate requirement for remedial work. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,434 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only 2,416 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and a mere 263 miles recorded since the last test. While this low mileage indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid internalisation. The history notes a single failure on April 4, 2025, at 24,074 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While this was rectified immediately to achieve a passing grade, a buyer should inspect the entire suspension assembly for signs of premature corrosion or perished bushings, which often affect low-mileage cars that sit stationary. Checking the brake discs for surface pitting or glazing is also advisable, as infrequent use can cause surface oxidation to bond to the rotors over time.
