Our Verdict
This 2014 Renault Clio requires careful inspection due to recent braking system issues and a failed headlamp. While generally reliable, the MOT history suggests potential maintenance risks that could impact long-term value.
Prioritise a full brake system inspection, focusing on the nearside rear brakes which have repeatedly failed MOTs. Check for a repair history of the 2022 brake binding issue and verify the headlamp was fixed after the 2025 failure. Negotiate based on the need for brake adjustments or repairs. Review service records for regular maintenance, as the 899cc engine benefits from consistent servicing. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated braking system work.
The 899cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, typically around 50-60 mpg on the motorway. As a 2014 model, it falls into a low UK road tax band (£145 per year for 2024-25). Insurance groups for the Clio vary but are generally mid-range. Expected maintenance costs include periodic brake pad replacements and headlamp repairs. Annual running costs could range from £800-£1,200, depending on usage and repair needs.
Focus on the braking system: check for uneven pad wear, rotor warping, or hydraulic issues on the nearside rear brakes. Test the dipped headlamp functionality and inspect the wiring/connections. Examine the front tyres for edge wear and ensure they meet legal tread depth. Check suspension components for unusual wear, as brake binding can sometimes indicate larger mechanical issues. Verify that all MOT failure items were properly addressed before purchase.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT record with brake imbalances, a non-working headlamp, and worn tyres. At 83,699 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for its 12-year age, though the 899cc petrol engine is typically efficient. No aggregate reliability data exists for the Clio model, but the VIN-specific history shows recurring braking system concerns.
No aggregate reliability data available for Renault Clio models, but VIN-specific history shows recurring braking system concerns that may indicate potential maintenance risks.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Actuator FailureSerious
The dual-clutch EDC gearbox can suffer from jerky shifts, shuddering when moving off, or complete loss of drive due to actuator failure. This is often exacerbated by heavy urban use in the UK. Software updates can help, but hardware failure is common.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)Serious
The early 1.2 TCe engine is notorious for high oil consumption, often leading to low oil pressure, timing chain stretch, and total engine failure. This is caused by excessive vacuum in the intake manifold pulling oil past the piston rings.
