Our Verdict
Recommended for budget-conscious buyers but requires careful inspection of braking components and tyres. Recent MOTs show improvement, but past issues suggest potential maintenance needs.
Prioritise checking brake discs, pads, and tyres given historical failures. Verify service records to confirm if brake components were replaced or repaired. Negotiate based on the 2024 MOT's 'front brake disc worn' and 'tyre damage' findings. Look for evidence of regular maintenance, particularly brake system servicing. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated brake pad replacements.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (approx. 50-60 mpg) for city driving, with £140 annual road tax (2017-2025). Insurance groups 15-17 are typical for this model. Maintenance costs may include brake disc replacements ( £150-£250 per axle) and tyre changes ( £50-£80 each). Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Inspect brake discs for scoring/uneven wear (noted in 2024 MOT) and check for brake fluid leaks. Examine tyres for cracks or uneven tread (both rear tyres had damage in 2024). Test brake pedal feel and responsiveness. Check suspension components for wear, as brake issues may indicate related problems. Verify that all MOT remedial work was completed to standard.
This 2016 Renault Clio has a generally clean recent MOT history (2025-2026) with no defects, but older records reveal recurring brake pad wear and tyre degradation. At 31,085 miles, the mileage is below average for its age, though the 1.2L petrol engine lacks detailed reliability data. The blue exterior and low 2022 MOT mileage suggest careful ownership, but past brake and tyre issues warrant scrutiny.
No aggregate reliability data available for Renault Clio models, but brake system components and tyre longevity appear to require attention based on this vehicle's history.
