Known faults for Renault Clio Mk4
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the service history to confirm regular oil and filter changes for the 1.1L engine. Given the May 2026 MOT advisory regarding the central rear lower engine mounting, you should check for any unusual vibrations while the engine is idling and negotiate the cost of replacement if the damage has progressed.
Verify that all exterior lighting is operational, as the vehicle previously failed its 2022 test due to an inoperative registration plate lamp. Ensure the service book is stamped to validate the mileage and maintenance intervals, as MOT records alone do not confirm the full service history.
The 1.1L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which typically results in a lower insurance group and a competitive annual road tax band. Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though buyers should budget for the eventual replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and wiper blades.
Annual expenditure will be driven primarily by fuel and insurance. Based on the engine size and model type, the overall cost of ownership is expected to remain accessible for most drivers.
Specifically inspect the central rear lower engine mounting, as the most recent MOT noted it was damaged, although not to an extent that caused failure. Use a torch to check for cracks or excessive wear in the rubber mounting.
Referencing the aggregate data for over 369,000 Clios, pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms, as these are the most common failure points for this model. Finally, check the windscreen wiper blades to ensure they are in good condition, following the failure recorded in April 2022.
This 1.1L petrol Clio has covered 42,546 miles since its first registration in July 2018. The MOT history shows a steady pattern of passes, with only minor electrical and wiper issues recorded in 2022 and a single advisory regarding an engine mounting in 2026. It represents a stable example of the model with mileage slightly below the aggregate average.
The Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4% across a large sample size, with common failures typically linked to headlamps and suspension components.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- EDC Gearbox Shudder and Actuator FailureSerious
The dual-clutch EDC gearbox can suffer from jerky shifts, shuddering when moving off, or complete loss of drive due to actuator failure. This is often exacerbated by heavy urban use in the UK. Software updates can help, but hardware failure is common.
- 1.2 TCe Oil Consumption (H5F Engine)Serious
The early 1.2 TCe engine is notorious for high oil consumption, often leading to low oil pressure, timing chain stretch, and total engine failure. This is caused by excessive vacuum in the intake manifold pulling oil past the piston rings.
