Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Given the failure recorded on 2025-12-08, you should verify that the coolant leak has been permanently repaired rather than temporarily patched. For this 1.5L diesel engine, it is critical to check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are high-priority maintenance items for this powertrain.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and its above-average mileage. Ensure that the 'Offside Rear Service brake lagging' issue identified in late 2025 was fully addressed and that the braking system is now operating smoothly.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban and motorway driving. Road tax will be based on the 2012 diesel emissions bracket, and the Clio generally falls into a lower-to-mid insurance group, keeping fixed costs manageable.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age are likely to increase. You should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads, alongside the potential for further electrical or cooling system repairs as indicated by the MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the cooling system to ensure there are no active leaks or residue around the radiator and hoses, following the December 2025 MOT failure. Examine the front suspension, specifically the ball joints, as these are a known weak point for the model and caused a failure for this specific vehicle in November 2024.
Check all exterior lighting, including the stop lamps and registration plate lamps, as these have been recurring issues in the MOT history. Finally, check the condition of the road wheels, as a distorted wheel was noted as an advisory in November 2023.
This silver 2012 Renault Clio diesel has recorded 107,435 miles, which is above the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history indicates a pattern of failures related to lighting and suspension, with a more recent failure in December 2025 involving a coolant leak and brake lagging. The vehicle's record shows it has undergone regular annual testing since 2023.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with headlamps and suspension arms being the most frequent points of failure across the fleet.
