Our Verdict
This 2010 Renault Clio in blue appears to be a reasonable budget buy with a clean recent MOT record. The latest test in February 2026 passed with no defects at 106,705 miles, suggesting it is currently roadworthy.
When viewing this blue 2010 Clio (KR10ACU), ask for service history to confirm routine maintenance such as timing belt changes, as the 1.1-litre petrol engine is approaching an age where neglect can be costly. Use the 2025 advisory for offside front suspension arm ball joint slight play as a negotiation point, as this may need monitoring or replacement soon. Given the 2023 and 2022 advisories for front tyres worn on edges, check that these have been replaced and inspect for uneven wear indicating alignment issues.
As a 1149cc petrol with a 2010 registration, this Clio should fall into a low road tax band typical of small petrol cars, keeping annual tax modest. Insurance groups for early Clio 1.1 models are generally low, making it cheap to cover for new drivers or second-car owners. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £800-£1,000, though parts like suspension arms could add minor expense.
Inspect the offside front suspension arm ball joint noted as having slight play in the February 2025 MOT at 100,376 miles, as play may have increased by the current 106,705 miles. Check the near-side obligatory mirror that was recorded as slightly damaged in March 2024 to ensure it remains secure and usable. Review the front tyres closely, since the 2022 and 2023 MOTs both flagged near and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on edges, and confirm the brake pedal smooth wear from 2022 has not worsened.
The vehicle has a consistent MOT pass history from 2022 to 2026, with the most recent test at 106,705 miles showing no recorded defects. Earlier tests noted minor wear items such as tyres, a slightly damaged mirror, and slight suspension play, all of which were pass-level advisories rather than failures. At 16 years old with over 106k miles, it is above typical use but has clearly been maintained to keep it legally compliant.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 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.
