Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This vehicle has s
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The MOT history highlights corroded brake pipes (both front and rear) in March 2025 and a worn lower suspension ball joint in February 2024; you should verify if these were permanently repaired or simply patched. Check for evidence of the oil leak noted in the 2025 record, as this can indicate engine wear over time.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the need for upcoming maintenance. Given the recurring issues with rear shock absorbers and tyre tread depths, ensure that all consumables are currently within legal limits and that the suspension is not leaking or unstable.
The 1149cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing it in a lower tax bracket and insurance group. However, maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average due to the recorded wear on suspension components and brake lines.
Annual costs will include fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside a budget for preventative maintenance to address the corrosion and oil leak issues noted in the history. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be higher than a lower-mileage equivalent.
Carefully inspect the rear shock absorbers, as they were flagged for casing damage in both 2025 and 2026. Examine the front and rear brake pipes for signs of corrosion or grease covering, as noted in the March 2025 MOT, and check the front sill and rear bumper for the recorded damage.
Check the offside front tyre tread depth specifically, as this area has failed twice (2024 and 2026) for being below 1.6mm. Finally, look for signs of active oil leaks around the engine block, referencing the 2025 advisory.
This white 2013 Renault Clio has covered 136,323 miles, which is well above the average for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension wear and corrosion, including brake pipe issues and damaged shock absorber casings. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026, the record indicates persistent defects and advisories.
The Renault Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
