Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent pat
When inspecting this specific Clio, you should verify that the offside rear brake pipe corrosion noted in March 2026 has been professionally repaired and not merely cleaned. Given the previous failure of a drive shaft CV boot in 2025, check the integrity of all rubber boots and joints around the front axle.
Request a detailed service history to see if the binding brake issue from 2025 was addressed alongside the CV boot. Because this vehicle has much higher mileage than the aggregate average, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension system, as track rod ends and ball joints have appeared in recent MOT records.
The 1149cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. However, maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the frequency of MOT failures related to suspension and braking components.
Expect typical running costs for a small petrol hatchback of this age. Annual costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage, but the higher-than-average mileage on this specific car suggests higher fuel consumption over the year compared to the model average.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system; specifically, look for signs of corrosion on the brake pipes, as this was a primary reason for failure in March 2026. You should also inspect the nearside front suspension arm and ball joint, following the wear noted in the most recent MOT history.
Additionally, check all exterior lighting, including the offside rear indicator and nearside front position lamp, to ensure they are fully operational. Finally, inspect the front drive shafts and CV boots to ensure no further splits or leaks are present, following the 2025 failure.
This 2011 silver Renault Clio 1.2 petrol has covered 105,888 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,737 miles per year. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of failures, most recently in March 2026 involving brake pipes, suspension components, and lighting. While it passed its 2025 test with no defects, the subsequent failures suggest maintenance needs attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 72.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
