Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While this 1.6L Cl
Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Given the 2024 advisories regarding shock absorbers and ball joints, verify whether these components were replaced or if they remain as wear items. Negotiate the price based on the condition of the windscreen, which has been flagged as damaged in multiple tests, and the age of the tyres.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides more power than the base Clio models but will result in slightly higher fuel consumption. Tax will fall into a standard band for 2008 vehicles, and insurance groups for the Clio are typically low, keeping fixed costs manageable. However, maintenance costs are likely to rise given the vehicle's mileage and age.
Focus on the exhaust system and the nearside rear passenger door, following the failures recorded in February 2026. Carefully inspect the front suspension, specifically the ball joints and shock absorbers, as these were flagged in 2024 and are cited as common failure points in aggregate model data. Additionally, check the inner rims of the wheels for distortion, as noted in the 2025 MOT record.
This silver 2008 Renault Clio has covered 123,238 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension and tyre wear, including a significant list of advisories in February 2024 and a failure in February 2026 due to an exhaust leak and a faulty door handle. It represents a budget-entry option but carries the typical wear associated with its age and mileage.
The Renault Clio has a moderate aggregate MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with suspension arms and tyres being the most frequent failure points.
