Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise the verification of steering and suspension repairs. The steering rack inner joints were an advisory in 2023 and a failure in 2026; you should request invoices to confirm these were replaced rather than temporarily patched. Ensure the CV boot replacements are recent and secure, as this has been a recurring failure point for this specific car.
Given the age of this 1.2L petrol model, check the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Negotiate the price based on the evidence of corrosion found on the radiator support bracket during the January 2026 test.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and typically falls into a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters. Fuel economy is generally competitive for its era, though maintenance costs may increase as the vehicle exceeds 90,000 miles.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax for a 2012 petrol vehicle and routine servicing. Given the history of steering and suspension failures, a budget should be set aside for ongoing wear-and-tear components.
Perform a detailed check of the steering system. Specifically, look for any play in the steering rack and track rod ends, which caused the failure in January 2026. Inspect the offside front CV boot for any new splits or leaks, as this component has failed twice in the recorded history.
Visually inspect the radiator support bracket for the corrosion noted in the recent MOT to ensure it has been treated or replaced. Additionally, check the rear coil springs for cracks, following the failure recorded in December 2023, and examine the front suspension arm bushes for excessive wear.
This 2012 grey Renault Clio has covered 91,023 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT record shows a pattern of failures concerning the steering rack and CV boots, though it passed its most recent test in January 2026 after several repairs. The vehicle's history reflects common model weaknesses, particularly regarding suspension and steering wear.
The Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with suspension arms frequently cited as a top failure reason across the model range.
