Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage hatchback. The recent MOT failure was resolved quickly, leaving a clean record for the current period.
When inspecting this specific white Clio, verify that the offside front suspension arm ball joint identified in the October 2025 failure has been replaced with a quality part. Because the vehicle has been driven well below the average annual mileage, you should check if the service intervals have been strictly followed despite the low usage, as fluids can degrade over time regardless of distance.
Negotiate based on the most recent repair history. While the 2025 failure was minor, it is worth asking for the invoice to confirm the work was completed to a professional standard. Given the 1618cc engine size, ensure the cooling system and belts have been inspected, as these are critical for this engine variant.
Running this 1.6L petrol Clio should be relatively economical for a non-hybrid hatchback. You can expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, though it will be higher than the smaller-capacity engine variants in the Clio range.
Insurance groups for this model are typically mid-range, and tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 output of the 1618cc unit. Maintenance costs are generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic suspension component replacements, which is a common failure point for this model across the wider dataset.
Focus your physical inspection on the front suspension. The MOT history specifically flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint in 2025. Check for any knocks or knocks from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure the repair was effective.
Additionally, keep an eye on the headlamps and exhaust system during your inspection. While this specific vehicle has had no recorded issues with these, they are listed as top MOT failure reasons for the Renault Clio model aggregate data, making them worth a proactive check.
This 2015 Renault Clio 1.6 petrol presents with relatively low mileage, having covered 48,169 miles in approximately 11 years. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in late 2025 due to a suspension component. The vehicle's usage is significantly lower than the model average of 5,723 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.3%, with suspension arms and headlamps being frequent points of failure.
