Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the age of this vehicle and the reappearance of minor maintenance advisories. While the low mileage is a significant positive, ensure the engine oil leak and exhaust mounting issues are factored into your final offer.
When viewing this Clio, your priority should be the engine bay. The 2026 MOT noted an oil leak; you should verify if this is a minor weep from a rocker cover gasket or something more serious that could lead to contamination of other components. Given the age, check the service history for evidence of a timing belt change, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.4L engine that can cause catastrophic damage if neglected.
Negotiate the price based on the current advisories. The rear exhaust mounting is an inexpensive fix, but the oil leak and the tyres nearing their limit provide leverage to lower the asking price. Ensure all electrical features, such as the windows and central locking, function correctly, as these can become temperamental on older Renaults.
The 1.4L petrol engine is relatively economical for its era, though it will not match the efficiency of modern turbocharged units. You should expect reasonable fuel costs for short to medium commutes. As a 2007 vehicle, it falls into the older VED tax bands, which are generally predictable but worth checking against the current DVLA rates for this specific engine output.
Insurance should be affordable for most drivers due to the Clio's status as a common, low-group vehicle. You should budget for annual maintenance beyond standard servicing, specifically keeping a fund for age-related rubber component degradation, such as hoses and bushes, which are prone to perishing over nearly two decades of use.
Start by inspecting the tyres; the 2026 MOT noted the nearside front is worn close to the limit, so factor in the cost of a new set of tyres soon. Check the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, as these were flagged in 2024. A test drive should include listening for any knocking sounds over bumps, which would indicate that these bushes or links have worn out again.
Look underneath the car to assess the extent of the oil leak mentioned in the most recent MOT. If the engine underside is heavily coated in oil, it may be masking a more significant issue. Finally, check the condition of the exhaust system; while the mounting was flagged, ensure the pipework itself hasn't corroded significantly, as this is a common failure point for cars of this vintage.
This 2007 Renault Clio has covered just 60,275 miles, which is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle. Its recent MOT history shows a generally well-maintained car, though it has required attention for suspension and tyre-related wear. The current advisories regarding an oil leak and exhaust mounting suggest that a thorough pre-purchase inspection is necessary to avoid immediate repair bills.
While no specific aggregate data is available, this generation of Clio is generally regarded as a practical supermini, though it is susceptible to minor electrical and suspension wear as it crosses the 15-year threshold.
