Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a vehicle with exceptionally low mileage and a flawless MOT record. This Clio represents a rare example of a low-useage modern hatchback.
The primary draw of this vehicle is the incredibly low mileage, which averages to just 1,200 miles per year. However, when buying low mileage cars, you must verify that rubber components, fluids, and timing belts have been replaced or inspected regularly based on age rather than just distance. Check for a full service history to ensure the 1.6L petrol engine has been maintained according to Renault's intervals.
Given the beige paint and older age, inspect the interior for signs of sun damage or wear that can occur even in cars that sit for periods. Since there are no MOT failures to reference, focus your negotiation on the condition of the tyres and brakes, which may be aging despite the low mileage.
The 1598cc engine is larger than the base Clio units, likely resulting in slightly higher fuel consumption and tax compared to the smaller variants. Expect moderate fuel economy and a mid-range insurance group typical for a 2011 hatchback.
Maintenance costs should be low due to the low mileage, but you should budget for age-related consumables. Estimated annual running costs are likely between £900 and £1,200, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
While this specific vehicle shows no MOT defects, you should still inspect the common failure points for this model generation, such as suspension arms and exhaust components, which are frequent reasons for failure across the Clio fleet. Check for any rust on the underside or play in the suspension.
Pay close attention to the tyres; with only 18,458 miles on the clock, they may have plenty tread but could be perished due to age. Ensure the engine runs smoothly without any oil leaks, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from dried out seals.
This 2011 Renault Clio is a standout find, having covered only 18,458 miles over 15 years, which is significantly lower than the national average for its age. The recorded MOT history is perfectly clean, with five consecutive passes and no defects or advisories noted between 2021 and 2025, suggesting the car has been used sparingly and kept in good order.
The 2011 Renault Clio is generally considered reliable, though suspension and exhaust issues are the most common points of failure across the model data.
