MM13 MCT MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Renault Clio (MM13 MCT) between October 2023 and June 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 12 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 1 advisory notice is recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake lever has excessive movement indicating incorrect adjustment (1.1.6 (c))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for imminent suspension and brake maintenance, but this 2015 white Renault Clio is fundamentally sound with a mostly clean MOT record. The recent June 2026 failure was corrected within days and the car passed, so it is currently road legal.
Use the June 2026 MOT failure as a negotiation lever — although it was repaired to pass, the worn near-side front lower suspension arm ball joint and off-side anti-roll bar linkage dust cover suggest the front suspension is ageing and may need further attention soon. Ask for evidence of the rectification work (invoices for ball joint and anti-roll bar parts, headlamp alignment, parking brake adjustment) and confirm the seller actually replaced rather than temporarily patched components. Request full service history; with no model aggregate reliability data available, a stamped book showing regular oil changes and timing belt interval compliance on this 1618cc petrol unit is essential.
As a 1618cc petrol Renault Clio first registered in 2015, this car should fall into a modest VED band and a low-to-mid insurance group typical of small hatchbacks, keeping fixed annual costs down. The October 2025 MOT noted an off-side front tyre worn on the edge, so factor in a replacement tyre if not already done. Based on the mileage and age, expect routine servicing, consumables, and occasional suspension wear items to dominate; estimated annual running cost is around £800-£1,000 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
The June 2026 failure listed near-side front lower suspension arm ball joint excessive wear and off-side front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover failure — physically inspect both front corners for fresh replacement marks, grease, and any residual play in the ball joints. Check headlamp aim on both sides (the failure showed both near and off-side too low) and verify the parking brake lever does not exhibit the excessive movement noted, as incorrect adjustment can indicate stretched cables. The October 2025 pass flagged an off-side front tyre worn close to the limit on the edge, so examine all four tyres for uneven wear that could point to ongoing alignment or suspension issues.
This January 2015 registered Renault Clio (MM13MCT) shows 67,979 miles on its latest June 2026 MOT, which is reasonable for an 11-year-old petrol hatchback. The MOT history is mostly clean with passes in 2023, 2024, and October 2025, but a failure on 3 June 2026 revealed worn suspension ball joints, low headlamp aim, a degraded anti-roll bar dust cover, and poor parking brake adjustment. All issues were addressed and the car passed nine days later on 12 June 2026 with no defects recorded.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
