If a licence expired in Jan '16, no live tv was watched between jan and april, and the licence was renewed in april...the system automatically renews from the end of the old expiry date.

Yes, if the same name is provided.

should someone wish to appeal the renewal date, would tv licencing be able to prove if live tv had or hadnt been accessed from that address?

I'm not sure that there is an appeal as such. You simply ask them, and they say yes or no. They have no way to tell whether a Licence would have been required during the period concerned - the whole thing is based on an inappropriate assumption that because most people need a Licence, everyone does.
