Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
When inspecting this specific black Clio, your priority should be the braking system and underside. The MOT records show a persistent issue with brake pipe corrosion (noted in both 2025 and 2026) and worn or pitted brake discs. Ensure that the repairs made following the January 2026 failure were comprehensive and not just 'patchwork' fixes.
Ask for evidence of work done on the suspension and steering. The vehicle has a history of track rod end play and a fractured nearside rear coil spring. You should also check for any signs of the oil leak that was recorded in the January 2025 MOT. A full service history would be beneficial to see if these recurring mechanical issues have been addressed proactively rather than only at the point of MOT failure.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate for a small hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but you should expect typical figures for a 2012 petrol engine of this size.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recurring nature of the brake and suspension issues identified in the MOT history. You should budget for regular replacement of consumables like brake discs, pads, and potentially suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to fall in the £1,100-£1,400 range.
A thorough inspection of the braking system is essential. Specifically, look for signs of corrosion on the brake pipes and ensure the rear brake discs do not show the pitting or scoring mentioned in the 2026 MOT record. Check that the brakes do not bind, as this has been a recurring advisory/failure point.
Secondly, inspect the suspension and steering components. Given the history of track rod end play and a fractured coil spring, you should check for any knocks or knocks when driving over bumps and ensure the steering feels precise. Finally, check the engine bay for any residual signs of the oil leak noted in the 2025 MOT to ensure it has been fully rectified.
This 2012 Renault Clio 1.6 petrol has covered 79,317 miles, which is higher than the model average of 5,737 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures involving brake pipe corrosion, binding brakes, and worn discs, alongside suspension issues like fractured coil springs and track rod end play. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026, the frequency of advisories and failures in previous years is notable.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 72.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures often related to headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
