Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle has a fresh MOT, the recent history reveals a pattern of neglected basic maintenance and recurring suspension and seal issues.
Priority should be given to verifying the current state of the oil leak mentioned in the July 2026 MOT. Ask for a receipt proving the anti-roll bar linkage and CV boot were actually replaced following the recent failure, rather than just 'patched' to pass.
Negotiate the price based on the 'not excessive' oil leak, as this may indicate a gasket or seal that will require more costly attention in the near future. Ensure the service history shows regular oil changes, as the small 898cc engine is sensitive to lubrication quality.
The 0.9L engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and sitting in a favorable tax bracket for its age. Insurance costs for this model are typically low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car due to the recurring wear-and-tear issues seen in the MOT history. Expect an annual budget for tyres and suspension components to be slightly higher than a perfectly maintained example.
Focus your inspection on the undercarriage. Specifically, check the CV boots and anti-roll bar linkages, as these have been recurring failure points. Look for fresh oil residue around the engine block to assess the severity of the 'not excessive' leak noted in July 2026.
Check the condition of all four tyres. The 2026 MOT flagged the rear tyres as cracking or perishing, and the 2025 MOT showed front tyres with cords exposed. This suggests a history of running tyres beyond their safe lifespan; check the date codes on the current tyres to ensure they aren't old.
This 2015 white Renault Clio with the 0.9L petrol engine has covered 82,242 miles. The MOT history shows a concerning trend of multiple failures related to tyre condition and brake pipes in 2025, alongside more recent issues with CV boots and an oil leak. It is a functional city car, but the evidence suggests it has not always been maintained proactively.
Aggregate data is unavailable, but this specific vehicle shows common wear-and-tear issues typical of high-use city cars.
