Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres. The MOT records from 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently highlight cracking, perishing, or wear on multiple tyres, suggesting that rubber replacement may be an immediate requirement.
Negotiate based on the documented history of minor issues; specifically, check the current state of the front lower oil leak noted in 2025 and the exhaust mounting which failed in 2024. Ensure any work carried out to rectify the 2024 failure (including the shock absorber strut mounting) has been documented with receipts, as these are common wear points for this era of Clio.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Clio is likely to offer efficient fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on service history. Being a 2004 model, it will fall into a relatively low insurance group, making it affordable for newer drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular attention to suspension components and tyres, both of which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's MOT history. Expect typical small-car maintenance costs, but budget for potential upcoming tyre replacements and minor leak repairs.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The 2025 MOT recorded worn anti-roll bar linkage pins/bushes and a front lower oil leak, while the 2024 failure included an excessively worn shock absorber strut mounting. Test the car on a bumpy road to listen for knocks or rattles.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly for any signs of sidewall cracking or bulging, as this has been a recurring MOT issue for this specific registration. Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen and number plates, as these have been flagged as damaged or deteriorated in multiple recent tests.
This 2004 Renault Clio 1.5 dCi presents with 54,591 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,745 miles per year. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of maintenance-related advisories, particularly regarding tyre condition and suspension components. The vehicle has transitioned from a failure in early 2024 to several passes with multiple advisories in subsequent tests.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 72.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
