Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel, prioritise checking the service records for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Since the MOT history mentions a distorted wheel and tyre damage in 2024 and 2025, ensure the current tyres have even tread wear to rule out ongoing alignment problems.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the remaining duration of the current MOT. While the most recent test was clean, the history of lighting and wiper failures suggests a need to verify that all electrical components are functioning correctly during your test drive.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and typically falling into a reasonable road tax bracket for its year. Insurance costs for the Clio are generally competitive, making it an affordable option for urban and motorway commuting.
Typical maintenance will include regular oil changes and diesel filter replacements. Given the age and mileage, you should budget for occasional wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and tyres. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200.
Pay close attention to the wheels and tyres; the 2024 MOT recorded a distorted nearside front wheel and the 2025 MOT noted a cut in the offside front tyre wall. Check for any vibrations during the test drive that might indicate unresolved wheel imbalance.
Verify the operation of all exterior lighting, specifically the nearside front headlamp which caused a failure in April 2025. Additionally, check the windscreen wipers to ensure they clear the glass effectively, as this was another point of failure in the 2025 test.
This red 2013 Renault Clio diesel has recorded 71,545 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026, which is slightly below the average for its age. The vehicle has a consistent testing history with only one failure in 2025, which was resolved within 24 hours. Recent records show no major mechanical defects, though there have been recurring mentions of tyre and wheel issues.
The Renault Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
