2014 Renault Clio 0.9L Petrol · LT14 AAV

The 899cc petrol engine is designed for economy, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and offering competitive fuel economy for short journeys. Tax bands for this specific engine size are typically low, helping to keep annual fixed costs down.

Maintenance costs for a Clio of this age are generally manageable, though at 100,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a small hatchback.

During a physical inspection, pay close attention to the suspension and exhaust system. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, aggregate data for this model shows that suspension arms and exhausts are common failure points. Listen for knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces.

Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is another frequent failure reason for the Renault Clio. Given the high mileage, inspect the clutch feel and gearbox engagement to ensure smooth operation, as these components may be approaching the end of their typical service life.
