Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the vehicle's alignment and suspension. The MOT records show a pattern of tyres wearing smooth on the edges (both front and rear), which often indicates a need for professional wheel alignment or worn suspension components. Negotiate the price based on the need for new rear tyres, as these were flagged as misshapen in February 2026.
Check the service history for evidence of oil leak repairs, as a leak was noted in February 2023. Ensure that the damaged outer sill and wheel rim mentioned in the 2023 records have been addressed or are acceptable to you cosmetically.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments and typically falls into a lower insurance group. Road tax will be based on the 2006 CO2 emissions for this specific engine variant.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age are generally moderate, but the MOT history suggests a higher-than-average requirement for tyre replacements and suspension work. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for periodic suspension component updates.
Inspect all four tyres carefully; the February 2026 MOT specifically noted rear tyres as misshapen and wearing smooth on the inside edge. This is a critical safety point and a recurring theme in this car's history. Check the front suspension, particularly the lower ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages, as these have caused failures or advisories in 2023 and 2025.
Additionally, examine the outer sills for the damage recorded in 2023 and check the engine bay for any active oil leaks. Verify that the rear exhaust mount is secure, as it was reported as broken in the 2023 test.
This red 1.2L Renault Clio has covered 98,999 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and one failure in 2025, with persistent advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension components. It represents a budget-friendly option, provided the recurring maintenance issues are addressed.
With an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, this model is moderately reliable, though it frequently struggles with tyre and suspension arm failures.
