2015 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · MM13 MCT

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.
