Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recent minor MOT issues, but overall solid for a 9-year-old diesel Clio.
Prioritise checking the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and offside front brake pipe corrosion reported in the 2026 MOT. Insist on a full service history to confirm maintenance of the diesel engine and exhaust system. Negotiate based on the 2026 MOT findings, particularly the tyre damage and brake pipe issues. Be wary of potential hidden costs from the 2024 MOT's near-limit tyre wear. Verify the vehicle's history for any unrecorded repairs or accident damage.
Diesel fuel economy averages 55-60 mpg, making running costs moderate. Tax band is 20% for diesel vehicles registered after 2017. Insurance group 15-17 is typical for this model. Maintenance costs may include periodic suspension component replacements and tyre changes. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the 2026 MOT-reported issues: check suspension arm play by jacking up the vehicle, inspect brake pipes for corrosion under the wheel arch, and examine tyres for uneven wear. Look for oil leaks around the engine and exhaust system. Test the steering for unusual vibrations from the distorted nearside wheel. Verify that the 2024 MOT's near-limit tyre has been replaced.
This 2017 Renault Clio diesel has a mostly clean MOT history with only three recorded issues in its 9-year lifespan. The latest MOT in May 2026 noted suspension, brake, and tyre concerns, though none were critical. At 52,452 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for its age but not excessively high. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Clio model.
