Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a small petrol hatchback, especially given its relatively low mileage. While it experienced a single MOT failure in late 2024, the subsequent clean pass suggests any issues were addressed promptly.
When viewing this specific white Clio, check the service history to see how the 898cc engine has been maintained, as smaller engines can be high-revving. Since the last two MOTs (2024 and 2025) were passed with no defects recorded, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a consistent state of repair recently.
During your test drive, listen for any knocks or rattles from the underside. While this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension issues, the aggregate data for this model indicates that suspension arms are a common failure point. Negotiate based on the documented service intervals and ensure all recent MOT repairs were carried out with genuine parts.
The 898cc petrol engine is designed for economy, likely placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for urban driving, making it a cost-effective option for commuters or new drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though you should budget for common wear items like tyres and brake pads. Given the low mileage, you may find that major component replacements are not yet required, but always factor in the cost of annual servicing.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and lighting components. Although this vehicle's recent MOTs have been clear, aggregate data for the Renault Clio shows that suspension arms and headlamps are frequent causes of failure. Check that the headlights are clear and the beam pattern is correct.
Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or loose mountings, as this is another common failure reason for this model. Given the mileage of 32,868, also check the condition of the tyres and the brake discs to ensure they haven't developed surface corrosion from infrequent use.
This 2018 Renault Clio features a small 898cc petrol engine and has covered 32,868 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle's mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 5,723 miles per year, which would be approximately 38,000 miles for a car of this age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in the last four years.
Aggregate data for the Renault Clio indicates a 72.3% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to suspension arms, headlamps, and exhausts.
