Our Verdict
Proceed with caution; this is a budget-friendly hatchback that requires immediate mechanical attention. While the mileage is consistent for its age, the MOT history shows recurring wear and tear in suspension and braking components.
Before purchasing, verify the full service history. For this 1.6L engine, it is critical to know if the timing belt has been replaced according to the interval, as this is a known failure point if neglected. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine seal cover, which is common on this era of Renault powerplants.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT advisories. The car has a history of track rod end play and worn brakes, which suggest that components may be nearing replacement soon. Ensure all four tyres have significant tread, as the history shows a pattern of the car being driven with tyres near the legal limit.
The 1598cc engine is relatively thirsty compared to smaller 1.2L variants, so expect around 35-42 MPG in real-world conditions. It falls into a mid-range tax band and moderate insurance group, making it accessible for younger drivers.
Maintenance costs are average, with parts being widely available and inexpensive. You should budget an annual running cost of approximately £900-£1,100 including fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history notes corroded coil springs and play in the track rod ends; during the test drive, listen for clunking noises over bumps and check the steering wheel for vibrations at high speeds.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The vehicle has records of fluctuating brakes, binding brakes, and worn discs. Ensure the pedal feel is firm and not spongy. Additionally, check the windscreen for chips, as this vehicle has had recurring windscreen damage noted across multiple MOT tests over the decade.
This 2007 Renault Clio features a 1.6L petrol engine and has covered approximately 80,600 miles, which is reasonable for a 19-year-old vehicle. It has maintained a consistent pass record but the history shows frequent advisories regarding brake discs, tyres, and suspension. It represents a typical value-driven small car provided the current owner has kept up with the maintenance required by its age.
The 2007 Clio is generally considered robust for city driving, but is prone to minor electrical niggles and suspension wear as it ages.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Wiper linkage seizureModerate
The wiper linkage pivots seize through corrosion and lack of lubrication, overloading the motor and eventually leaving the wipers painfully slow or completely inoperative.
- Front coil spring snappingModerate
A classic UK Renault MOT issue. The bottom coil can corrode and snap, sometimes unnoticed until an MOT or until it damages a tyre.
- Key-card and UCH electrical faultsModerate
The key card itself and the associated body-control electronics can cause intermittent unlocking, non-starts and random electrical quirks.
