Our Verdict
This 2014 Renault Clio is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but the 2022 MOT failure for exposed tyre cords shows past neglect of basic maintenance. Budget for a fresh set of rear tyres soon, as the last two tests noted distortion and cracking.
When viewing this Clio, ask for full service history to confirm the 0.9-litre TCe engine has had regular oil changes, as small turbo petrols are sensitive to neglect. Use the December 2022 failure — where the nearside front tyre had cords exposed — as leverage to negotiate, as it suggests the previous owner delayed essential wear-item replacement. Check that the tyres fitted now match the advisories cleared at the 2025 test and that no unrelated mechanical faults have been masked.
The 899cc three-cylinder petrol engine in this September 2014 Clio is one of the most economical in its class, returning around 60+ mpg in real-world use and placing it in a low VED band. Insurance should be cheap given the small engine and supermini classification, likely Group 3-5. Routine maintenance is inexpensive, but budget roughly £800-£1,000 per year covering fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep for a car of this age and mileage.
The MOT history shows a December 2022 failure at 55,271 miles for offside front tyre worn on edge and nearside front tyre with ply or cords exposed — inspect all four tyres closely for uneven wear, cracking or distortion, as the 2024 and 2025 tests noted rear tyre damage and distortion. Check the front suspension and tracking, since edge wear can indicate alignment issues. As no aggregate model data is available, also verify the condition of the clutch, brakes and turbo on this 899cc unit, as these are common age-related items on small Renaults.
The red 899cc petrol Clio (KU64AAK) has covered 72,439 miles as of its December 2025 MOT, which is moderate for an 11-year-old supermini. Its MOT history is mostly clean, with four passes and one failure in December 2022 caused by badly worn front tyres. Recent advisories flag ageing rear tyres, suggesting the car has been lightly used but not always proactively maintained.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of KU64AAK.

- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Actuator FailureSerious
The dual-clutch EDC gearbox can suffer from jerky shifts, shuddering when moving off, or complete loss of drive due to actuator failure. This is often exacerbated by heavy urban use in the UK. Software updates can help, but hardware failure is common.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)Serious
The early 1.2 TCe engine is notorious for high oil consumption, often leading to low oil pressure, timing chain stretch, and total engine failure. This is caused by excessive vacuum in the intake manifold pulling oil past the piston rings.
