Our Verdict
Approach this 2007 Renault Clio with caution due to a repeated pattern of MOT failures and worn suspension components. The most recent 2025 test showed a failure on the same day as a pass, indicating defects were present but quickly addressed before re-test.
Given the July 2025 failure listing a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn, an oil leak, and a non-working stop lamp, confirm with the seller that all items were properly repaired before the same-day pass and request receipts. The July 2024 failure included a fractured nearside front coil spring and excessively worn lower suspension ball joint, so check that replacement parts were genuine and that wheel alignment was corrected. A full service history is essential on a 1390cc petrol Clio of this age to verify routine maintenance such as timing belt and coolant changes.
As a 1.4-litre petrol Clio first registered in May 2007, this car will fall into a lower road tax band typical of older small petrol cars, though exact band is not in the data. Insurance group is likely low for a 2007 supermini, helping keep premiums modest. Based on 102,539 miles and typical small petrol hatchback costs, estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance is around £900-£1,200, with suspension and tyre wear likely to be recurring items given the MOT record.
Inspect the nearside front suspension closely, as the July 2025 MOT recorded an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the July 2024 test found a fractured coil spring and excessively worn lower ball joint at 96,115 miles. Check for any ongoing oil leak from the engine area noted in the 2025 failure, and verify the front windscreen washer functions, as it was flagged as insufficient. Examine all tyres for edge wear (nearside front inner was close to limit in 2025) and confirm rear lamps, stop lamps and registration plate lamps operate correctly given multiple lighting failures in 2024 and 2025.
This silver 2007 Renault Clio (NV07AHE) has covered 102,539 miles as of its July 2025 MOT, which is consistent with an 18-year-old small hatchback. The MOT history shows two failures in the last two years (July 2024 and July 2025) with multiple advisories and defects including suspension wear, tyre issues, and lighting faults. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's recorded history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio, so this assessment is based entirely on the individual history of NV07AHE.

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.
