Our Verdict
This 2017 Renault Clio presents a strong value proposition with a clean MOT history and low mileage, making it a reliable choice for budget-conscious buyers.
Prioritize checking service records to confirm the low mileage aligns with maintenance history. Negotiate based on the vehicle's frugal 1.1L engine and clean MOT record. Be cautious of potential hidden issues despite MOT passes—common Clio weaknesses include timing belt failures and clutch wear, though these are not flagged in the data. Verify the VIN matches the registration and check for outstanding manufacturer recalls.
The 1.1L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely returning 45-50 mpg on the motorway. Tax for 2026 would be £140 annually (2017-2020 diesel/petrol rate). Insurance groups for this model typically range from 15-20, costing £500-700 yearly. Maintenance costs are moderate, with typical servicing at £200-300 every 12,000 miles. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
Inspect the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, as 1.1L Renault engines can develop issues over time. Check the transmission for smooth gear changes and the suspension for excessive play. Verify the mileage against service stamps in the logbook—while the MOTs support the 35,526 figure, discrepancies could indicate tampering. Test the air conditioning and electrical systems, which are prone to faults in older Clios.
The vehicle has consistently passed MOT tests since 2022 with no defects recorded, and its 35,526 miles (as of 2026) represent below-average mileage for a nine-year-old car. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Clio model, the absence of MOT failures suggests good maintenance. The 1.1L petrol engine is typical for this era but may have limited long-term value.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Renault Clio model. However, the vehicle's MOT history shows no defects, suggesting responsible ownership.

- 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.
