Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of nearly 130,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for timing belt (cambelt) changes and water pump replacements, which are critical for this diesel engine. Negotiate on the basis of the recorded wheel distortions and tyre wear, as these can sometimes indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues.
Ask the seller for proof of recent maintenance regarding the braking system and suspension, as the MOT history has previously flagged issues with road wheels and tyres. Ensure that any recent work on the wheels or tyres is documented to confirm that the distortions noted in 2022 have been fully addressed.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Clio is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to petrol equivalents. However, at this mileage, maintenance costs may increase as components like turbochargers, injectors, or suspension bushings reach the end of their typical lifespans.
Expect typical diesel running costs; fuel economy should remain reasonable if the engine is well-maintained, but budget for more frequent consumables like tyres and brake pads. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,200-£1,500, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Pay close attention to the wheels and tyres. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows multiple instances of 'road wheel slightly distorted' and tyres 'worn close to legal limit' or 'worn on edge'. Inspect the alloys for cracks or significant bends and check the tyre tread patterns for uneven wear, which could signal alignment or suspension problems.
Additionally, check the lighting systems. The 2022 failure included a headlamp aim issue and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While these were resolved, a thorough check of all exterior bulbs and headlamp alignment is advised. Finally, listen for any knocks or vibrations from the suspension during a test drive, given the historical failures related to the wheels.
This 2013 red Renault Clio 1.5 dCi has covered 129,895 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,737 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and wheel distortion, particularly around the 102,000-mile mark. While the 2025 MOT passed without defects, the cumulative record indicates a vehicle that has been driven heavily.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
