Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This 2013 Renault
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the recent repairs made following the October 2025 failure. Specifically, ask for evidence that the parking brake issues (efficiency below 50%) and the nearside parking brake inoperability have been fully rectified. You should also request documentation regarding the offside outer drive shaft CV boot replacement.
Negotiate based on the documented history of tyre neglect and suspension issues. Given the 2024 failures involving corroded brake pipes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, you should check if these components were replaced or merely treated with grease. A full service history should be verified to see if the oil leak noted in 2025 is a known, managed issue or a more significant fault.
The 1149cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for city driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically moderate, suitable for a small hatchback.
However, recent MOT history suggests maintenance costs may be higher than average due to frequent requirements for tyres, brake components, and suspension parts. Expect annual maintenance to include regular tyre replacements and potential attention to the braking and exhaust systems. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on mileage and insurance profile.
A primary focus must be the braking system. The vehicle has a history of parking brake inefficiency and a corroded front brake pipe. Inspect the brake lines for any signs of surface corrosion or grease covering, as noted in the September 2024 failure.
Secondly, inspect the underside and suspension. The records show issues with rear coil springs, rear shock absorbers, and a split CV boot. Check for any signs of weeping from the shock absorbers or excessive play in the drive shafts. Finally, investigate the oil leak mentioned in the October 2025 test; while recorded as 'not excessive', it is a recurring advisory that warrants a professional inspection to prevent worsening.
This red 1.2L petrol Renault Clio has covered 88,047 miles since its first registration in September 2013. While it passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, the history shows significant recent issues, including a failed test in late 2025 involving brake efficiency and CV boot damage. The vehicle's recent MOT record indicates several recurring maintenance areas, such as oil leaks and exhaust concerns.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with common failures relating to headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
