Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
When inspecting this Clio, prioritise a review of the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals have been met, as MOT records do not reflect mechanical maintenance. Given the 2024 failure of a nearside front coil spring, verify that the replacement part was fitted correctly and check the condition of the opposite side.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and the fact that it has slightly exceeded the average annual mileage for this model. Ensure all electrical components, particularly the headlamps, are functioning correctly, as these are frequent failure points for this model range.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. This model typically falls into a lower insurance group and a modest tax bracket, making it an economical choice for new drivers or city commuters.
Typical maintenance costs for the Clio are generally affordable due to the widespread availability of parts. However, as a 14-year-old vehicle, budget for the gradual replacement of wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads.
Carefully inspect the front suspension system. While the fractured coil spring was addressed in May 2024, aggregate data shows suspension arms are a common failure point for this model; look for perished bushings or uneven tyre wear.
Check the headlamps and all exterior lighting, as these are among the top reasons for MOT failures across the Clio range. Finally, perform a thorough check of the tyre treads and sidewalls to ensure they meet legal requirements and are not showing signs of age-related cracking.
This white 2012 Renault Clio has a recorded mileage of 88,757 miles. Its MOT history from 2023 to 2026 is relatively clean, featuring only one failure in 2024 due to a fractured coil spring. It presents as a consistent example of the 1.2L petrol variant.
The Renault Clio has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, though it is prone to issues with headlamps and suspension arms.
