Our Verdict

Caution: This 2002 Renault Clio has a history of frequent, serious MOT failures and high mileage, making it a risky purchase. Unless you can verify extensive remedial work, it is not recommended.

Before buying, obtain the full service history and look for documented work on the shock absorbers, brake pipes and suspension components that have repeatedly failed in the MOT record. Verify that any previous major repairs, such as the 2019 fluid leaks and 2018 tyre tread issue, have been completed to a high standard, and check that the current tyre tread meets the legal 1.6 mm minimum.

During the test drive, listen for unusual noises from the suspension, inspect the condition of the brake lines for rust, and confirm that all lights function correctly. Given the vehicle's high mileage and multiple past failures, negotiate a significant discount or request a professional inspection to confirm that the major defects have been fully rectified before committing.
