Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Renault Clio presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-05-22 evaluation at 35,526 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no evidence of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage history reveals a low annual average of 3,947 miles, reflecting light usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. However, a notable spike occurred between 2025-05-23 (30,287 miles) and 2026-05-22 (35,526 miles), adding 5,239 miles in 12 months—a significant increase compared to earlier years. This could indicate a shift in usage patterns or potential odometer discrepancies, though no irregularities were flagged in the MOT records. The sparse data between 2022-03-30 (27,678 miles) and 2023-06-12 (28,776 miles) also suggests possible gaps in tracking, warranting closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history. While the MOT records show no structural or mechanical failures, a buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for signs of wear given the low mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to seizing. Additionally, the body’s undercarriage and wheel arches merit examination for rust, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate corrosion in hidden areas. The vehicle’s clean MOT history is reassuring, but physical inspection remains crucial to confirm the absence of undetected issues.

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.
