Our Verdict
This 2014 Renault Clio is a reasonable buy for a budget-conscious buyer, but it shows several recurring minor faults that need monitoring. Approach with care and budget for small ongoing maintenance items rather than expecting a fault-free ownership experience.
When viewing this Clio, ask for full service history to confirm the timing belt and other scheduled items have been addressed on the 899cc engine, as Renault's small petrol units need correct maintenance. Use the MOT advisories as negotiation points — the broken offside headlight bracket (noted in 2024 and 2025) and insecure battery (2024) suggest the car may have had minor front-end knocks or poor securing, so check for accident evidence. Given the repeated near-side rear registration lamp failures (2024, 2025) and play in the steering rack inner joint (2025), factor in the cost of a steering inspection and bulb replacements.
The 899cc three-cylinder petrol engine in this Clio is one of the most economical non-hybrid options of its era, with real-world figures typically in the high 40s to low 50s mpg, keeping fuel costs modest. Road tax for a 2014 sub-1.0 litre petrol should fall in a low band, and insurance groups for the base Clio are generally low, aiding affordability for new or younger drivers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance are around £800-£1,000, though the minor MOT advisories may add small occasional repair bills.
Inspect the offside front headlight bracket noted as broken but secure in both 2025 and 2024 MOTs, and confirm the headlight aim and alignment are correct. Check the steering rack inner joint play flagged at the 2025 test (65,771 miles) by having a mechanic assess for wear, as this can worsen and affect handling. Verify the near-side rear registration plate lamp works (inoperative in 2024 and 2025), examine the rear tyres for the edge wear and cracking noted across 2022-2024, and confirm the battery is now properly secured after the 2024 insecurity advisory.
The white 899cc petrol Clio (ND14BWJ) has covered 71,223 miles as of its July 2026 MOT, which is moderate for an August 2014 car. MOT history shows no failures but a consistent pattern of minor advisories including number plate lamp failures, headlight bracket damage, and rear tyre wear. The small three-cylinder engine and 12-year age suggest low running costs, though the repeated advisories mean a thorough inspection is warranted.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of ND14BWJ.

- 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.
