Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and suspension. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 show repeated failures of suspension arm pins, bushes, and ball joints; ensure these have been replaced with quality parts rather than temporary fixes. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, which is critical for the longevity of this 1.5L diesel engine.
Given the pattern of failing MOTs just before the renewal date, you should negotiate the price to account for potential upcoming maintenance. Ensure there is clear documentation for the repairs carried out in September 2025 to address the brake imbalance and suspension wear.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers. Insurance groups for the Clio are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a moderate tax bracket for its age.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for a small hatchback, though the MOT history suggests a higher-than-average requirement for suspension work. Expect typical costs for consumables like tyres and brake pads, alongside periodic diesel-specific maintenance.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history specifically notes excessively worn inner suspension arm pins and bushes in 2024, and a worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint in 2025. These are known weak points for this model, as evidenced by aggregate data.
Additionally, check the rear braking system, as a failure was recorded in September 2025 due to imbalanced braking requirements. Inspect the current tyre tread depths and the effectiveness of the windscreen wipers, both of which were failure points in 2024.
This black 2015 Renault Clio diesel has recorded 78,722 miles as of September 2025. Its MOT history shows a trend of failing tests on wear-and-tear items—specifically suspension components and tyres—before passing shortly after. The vehicle's data aligns with broader model trends regarding suspension vulnerability.
The Renault Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with suspension arms identified as one of the top three most common failure reasons.
