Our Verdict
Approach with caution but this 2015 Renault Clio diesel is not a bad buy if priced correctly and the recent suspension repair is proven. The repeated front suspension and braking advisories suggest wear that needs confirming before purchase.
Before buying this Clio, ask the seller for proof that the near-side front suspension arm ball joint dust cover flagged on 7 July 2026 was replaced or repaired, since the car failed and passed on the same day at 101,574 miles. The 2025 MOT showed the same suspension arm ball joint excessively worn and a near-side parking brake only just meeting efficiency, so check that the ball joint was properly dealt with and the handbrake mechanism adjusted or renewed.
As a 1461cc diesel, this Clio should return strong fuel economy, typically 60-70 mpg in real-world driving, keeping weekly fuel bills low for a commuter. Road tax for a 2015 diesel of this size is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the Clio are modest, helping keep fixed costs down.
Inspect the near-side front suspension arm and ball joint closely, as the MOT failed on 8 July 2025 for excessive wear and again on 7 July 2026 for a dust cover no longer preventing dirt ingress at 101,574 miles. Confirm the repair is sound and there is no play in the joint or worn tyres from misalignment.
This white 2015 Renault Clio 1.5 dCi diesel (NJ65ONH) has covered 101,574 miles as of its July 2026 MOT, which is reasonable for an 11-year-old car. The MOT history shows a clean pass in 2024, but 2025 and 2026 both featured failures on the near-side front suspension arm ball joint and braking/exhaust issues. The most recent 2026 failure was a dust cover fault that was evidently rectified the same day for a pass, but the pattern of suspension wear is worth noting.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Renault Clio, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of NJ65ONH.
