Our Verdict
This Renault Clio represents a solid opt
Given the high mileage of 150,300 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, specifically regarding the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump intervals. For a 1.5 dCi engine of this age, these are critical maintenance items that should have been addressed multiple times.
When inspecting this specific black Dynamique trim, check the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and ensure the engine runs smoothly at idle. Because the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should still verify that the clutch and flywheel show no signs of excessive wear, as these are common high-mileage components on diesel small cars.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance driving. Expect relatively low fuel consumption, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Insurance groups for a 2010 Clio are typically moderate, making it accessible for younger drivers. Maintenance costs for this model are generally affordable, though parts for the dCi engine can vary in price. Budget for regular oil changes and potential diesel-specific component replacements as the mileage climbs.
Since the MOT history for OB08RAD shows no defects since at least 2022, the mechanical record is clean from a regulatory standpoint. However, you should manually inspect the suspension components, such as bushes and shock absorbers, which often wear on high-mileage vehicles.
Check the turbocharger for any signs of oil leaks or unusual whining noises, and inspect the brake discs and pads. While no MOT failures were recorded, the high mileage means components like the alternator and starter motor may be approaching the end of their typical service life.
This 2010 Renault Clio Dynamique dCi is a black diesel model with 150,300 miles on the clock. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,223 per year, the vehicle has passed its last four MOT tests without a single recorded defect. This suggests a consistent pass rate for this specific unit despite its age and usage.
Aggregate data from 130 similar vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, suggesting some level of commonality in failures across the model range.
