Our Verdict
This 2017 Renault Clio has mixed reliability signals. While it has a clean MOT history prior to 2025, recent issues with tyres, brakes, and lighting suggest potential maintenance risks. A cautious approach is recommended.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the braking system and tyre condition. The recent MOT failures suggest potential recurring issues - ask for repair documentation. Negotiate a discount for the identified faults, particularly the brake imbalance and headlamp aim. Check service history for engine mount corrosion repairs (noted in 2025). Be wary of hidden costs from repeated MOT failures.
As a 1.461cc diesel, this Clio falls in £15-£20/month company car tax band. Diesel fuel economy typically ranges 50-60 mpg, making annual fuel costs £800-£1,000 for 8,000-10,000 miles. Insurance group 14-16 would add £600-£800/year. Major maintenance like brake repairs or tyre replacements could cost £300-£500. Estimated annual running cost: £1,800-£2,200.
Inspect tyres for further cracking (noted in 2026 MOT) and check for uneven wear. Test brake performance, paying attention to the 'service brake imbalance' issue. Examine the nearside front headlamp alignment. Check engine mount corrosion (from 2025 MOT) for signs of ongoing damage. Verify that all MOT repairs have been properly documented. Look for oil leaks around the engine area.
The 2017 Renault Clio has 62,134 miles on the clock, with a mostly clean MOT history until 2025. Recent failures include tyre damage, braking system imbalances, and a headlamp alignment issue. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, but tyre and brake concerns may indicate higher-than-average maintenance needs.
No aggregate MOT data available for Renault Clio models, but this vehicle shows specific concerns with tyres, brakes, and lighting systems that may indicate higher maintenance requirements.
