Our Verdict
This 2014 Renault Clio presents a high risk due to multiple suspension and tyre-related failures in the last two years, despite a clean MOT in 2023. Consider carefully or negotiate a significant discount.
Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the suspension system, particularly the front suspension arm ball joints and shock absorbers, which have failed multiple times. Check for evidence of repairs to these components in the service history. Negotiate a lower price to account for the high-risk profile, and be prepared for potential costly fixes. Insist on a detailed history report to verify if previous failures were resolved. Avoid if you lack mechanical expertise or budget for unexpected repairs.
The 1.149cc petrol engine offers moderate fuel economy, likely around 45-50 mpg. As a 2014 model, it falls into a low-emission tax band (likely £145/yr for 2026-2027). Insurance group is likely mid-range (6-8). Maintenance costs could be higher due to suspension and tyre issues, with repairs potentially exceeding £200-300. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Thoroughly check the front suspension arm ball joints and shock absorbers for wear, as these have failed multiple times. Inspect all tyres for damage, including the nearside rear and offside rear tyres, which have been flagged in multiple MOTs. Examine the exhaust system for leaks, particularly the central rear and front exhaust areas. Verify that any previous repairs were completed to a high standard and check for signs of oil leaks from shock absorbers. Review service records for consistency in maintenance.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history, with a clean 2023 test but repeated issues in 2024-2025 involving suspension components, tyres, and exhaust leaks. At 67,922 miles, the mileage is average for a 12-year-old vehicle, but the recurring mechanical concerns suggest potential ongoing maintenance costs.
No aggregate data available for the Renault Clio model, but this vehicle's history indicates specific mechanical vulnerabilities.

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.
