Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise verifying the repairs carried out following the September 2025 MOT failure. You should request invoices proving that the fractured offside rear coil spring and both front suspension arm ball joints were replaced, rather than just patched. Given the recurring advisories for corroded brake pipes on both the offside front and rear since 2024, check if these have been fully replaced or if they remain a risk.
Negotiate the price based on the upcoming maintenance requirements. The most recent pass still lists the front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, and the front shock absorbers as corroded. These are items that will likely require attention in the near future to maintain safety and performance.
The 899cc engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and placing the car in a lower VED (road tax) bracket. Insurance costs for this model are typically modest, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific vehicle. The MOT history indicates a pattern of suspension and braking wear, and the recurring corrosion issues suggest that underbody protection or replacement parts may be necessary. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are approximately £900-£1,200.
Carefully inspect the offside front and rear brake pipes for signs of corrosion, as this has been flagged in multiple MOT tests (2024 and 2025). Check the front shock absorber casings for the corrosion noted in the September 2025 record and examine the front brake discs for pitting or scoring.
Additionally, check the tyre tread across all four wheels; the nearside front tyre has been flagged as worn or close to the legal limit in both 2023 and 2025. Ensure the rear brakes are not binding, as this was a primary reason for the 2025 failure.
This 2014 white Renault Clio with the 899cc petrol engine has recorded 80,903 miles. The MOT history is marked by a significant failure in September 2025 involving ball joints, a fractured coil spring, and binding brakes. Recurring advisories regarding corroded brake pipes have been present since 2024, indicating a persistent issue with the vehicle's underside.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms, the latter of which is evident in this vehicle's history.
