Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage and recent MOT failures. While the most recent test was clean, the vehicle's usage patterns require careful scrutiny.
Given the high mileage of 123,205 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, specifically regarding the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump intervals, which are critical for this 1461cc diesel engine. Ask the seller for documented proof of these replacements, as they are vital for long-term reliability.
When inspecting this specific red Clio, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or steering play, as suspension components are common failure points for this model. Since the MOT history shows failures in 2024 and 2026, request the full details of what caused those failures to ensure they were not related to recurring structural or safety issues.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Clio is designed for efficiency, likely offering good fuel economy on longer motorway journeys. However, being a diesel, it may be subject to ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on its specific Euro emissions standard, so verify this before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, but at this mileage, you should budget for more frequent component replacements. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a small hatchback.
Pay close attention to the suspension and exhaust system. Aggregate data for this model indicates that suspension arms and exhaust components are among the most frequent MOT failure reasons. Even though no specific defects were listed in the recent MOTs, these are known weak points for the Clio range.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is another common failure point identified in the wider model data. Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of excessive corrosion or leaks, particularly given the high annual mileage this vehicle has accumulated.
This 2015 Renault Clio 1.5 dCi is a high-mileage diesel example, having covered 123,205 miles since its first registration in March 2015.

Compared to the model average of 5,723 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical Renault Clio.
Aggregate data for the Renault Clio shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.3%, with common issues relating to suspension, lighting, and exhaust systems.
