Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection, specifically focusing on the fuel and braking systems. Given the 2021 MOT failure regarding brake pipe corrosion and grease covering, you must ensure that all lines have been replaced or treated and that no further corrosion is present.
Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out to address the blue smoke from the exhaust and the central rear oil leak noted in the previous test. A full service history should be verified to see if the diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, particularly regarding the timing belt.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Clio is likely to offer decent fuel economy on longer journeys, though urban driving may impact these figures. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, making it relatively affordable to run for a small hatchback.
However, potential owners should budget for higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the age of the vehicle and the specific issues identified in its MOT history, such as exhaust and oil leak repairs.
You must inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of the central rear oil leak mentioned in the 2021 MOT. Additionally, check the condition of all brake pipes to ensure the corrosion issue reported has been fully resolved and is not a recurring problem.
Check the exhaust system carefully; the 2021 report noted blue smoke during acceleration, which can indicate engine wear or issues with the turbocharger/injector system. Finally, inspect the tyres, as the previous record showed a front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
This red 1.5L diesel Renault Clio has covered 91,581 miles as of its last recorded MOT in October 2021. While the vehicle is a common model, the recorded MOT history shows multiple failures including brake pipe corrosion, an oil leak, and exhaust smoke. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,737 miles per year for a vehicle of this age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
