Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage supermini. The recent clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a compliant state during its most recent inspections.
When inspecting this specific 1149cc petrol Clio, focus on the mechanical components that have caused previous MOT failures. Although the 2025 records show no defects, the history of failures in 2024 and early 2025 indicates that certain items required attention to meet standards.
Request a detailed service history to see if the repairs made following the 2024 and 2025 failures were documented. Given the model's aggregate data, you should also check the condition of the suspension arms and the exhaust system, as these are common failure points for the Renault Clio across the wider fleet.
The 1.1L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for city driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically efficient, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Clio of this age are usually moderate, but you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Based on typical costs for this class, the estimated annual running cost is likely to be manageable for a budget-conscious driver.
While the most recent MOT in July 2025 passed with no defects, the vehicle's history shows it failed tests in January 2024 and January 2025. You should specifically inspect the suspension components and the exhaust system, as these align with the most frequent failure reasons found in the wider Clio model data.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and correct alignment, as headlamp issues are a noted common failure reason for this model. Ensure that any previous repairs related to the 2024 and 2025 failures have been addressed thoroughly.
This 2015 white Renault Clio features a 1.1L petrol engine and has covered 65,887 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. Compared to the model average of 5,723 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example of this age. However, the most recent MOT record shows no defects, following a period of previous failures in 2024 and early 2025.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.3%, with common failures relating to suspension arms, headlamps, and exhausts.
