Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for a budget diesel
Focus on the braking system during your inspection. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for worn and pitted front brake discs in both 2024 and 2026, suggesting they may now require replacement. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump changes, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.5L diesel engine.
Negotiate the price based on the current state of the tyres and brakes. The January 2026 MOT noted that both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit, meaning immediate replacement is likely required for safety and peace of mind.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering strong fuel economy for urban and motorway driving. Tax and insurance for a 2013 Clio are generally affordable, placing it in a competitive bracket for small diesel cars.
Maintenance costs are typically moderate, though diesel particulate filter (DPF) health should be considered if the car is used primarily for short trips. Estimated annual costs include fuel, road tax, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the brakes and tyres. The MOT history specifically flags pitted and scored front brake discs (2026 and 2024) and worn rear tyres (2026); verify if these have been replaced since the last test. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, as is common for vehicles of this age.
Reference the model's common failure points: check the headlamps for clarity and function, and inspect the suspension arms for wear or play, as these are frequent failure points across the wider Clio population according to aggregate data.
This red 2013 Renault Clio diesel has covered 67,809 miles, which is slightly below the model average. Its MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with only one failure in 2023 due to tyre tread. Recent records indicate a need for attention to the braking system and rear tyres.
The Clio has a model average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with tyres and suspension arms being common points of failure.
