Our Verdict
A sensible budget-friendly city car if the buyer is prepared to address immediate maintenance needs. While the mileage is reasonable, a consistent history of oil leaks and deferred tyre maintenance suggests a lack of proactive care.
When inspecting this Clio, focus heavily on engine cleanliness. The MOT history notes a 'not excessive' oil leak consistently since at least 2022; you should verify if this is a simple gasket seal or something more costly like a crank seal. Additionally, check the age and condition of tyres—the data shows a history of 'perished' or 'worn' rubber, suggesting the previous owner may have waited until MOT failure to replace them.
Ask for a full service history to ensure the timing belt has been replaced, as these are typically required every 5-10 years or 100,000 miles. Given the 1149cc petrol engine, ensure the car starts smoothly and doesn't exhibit excessive knocking, as these small Renault engines can be sensitive to poor oil quality and maintenance intervals.
The 1.2L petrol engine is relatively economical to keep on the road, falling into a low insurance group and a modest road tax band. You can expect around 45-52 MPG depending on driving style and load.
Annual costs are estimated at £750-£950, covering estimated fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for routine maintenance. Parts for this model are generally inexpensive and widely available, making basic repairs affordable in the UK.
Inspect the front brake discs specifically; the most recent MOT flagged them as worn, pitted, or scored, meaning they are likely due for replacement soon. Pay close attention to the sidewalls of the tyres—the vehicle has a recurring issue with cracking and perishing, which indicates the rubber may be old even if the tread has depth.
Under the hood, check the offside front for the leak mentioned in the last three tests. While described as 'not excessive', it is a persistent issue that needs monitoring. Also, test the handbrake tension, as it has been flagged for excessive travel in the past, which could indicate worn cables or adjustment issues.
This 2010 Renault Clio sits at 85,524 miles, which is slightly above average for its 16-year age. While it has passed its most recent MOT without failures, the vehicle history reveals a recurring pattern of minor oil leaks and significant neglect regarding tyres and brake components. It represents a functional daily driver but one that requires attention to wear-and-tear items.
The 1.2 16v Renault engine is generally reliable for city driving but prone to oil leaks if service intervals are missed.
