Our Verdict
Proceed with caution; while the car is a cost-efficient diesel, the recent MOT history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance on critical suspension and braking components.
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history shows repeated issues with ball joints having play and corroded coil springs; ensure these have been replaced with high-quality parts rather than just patched up. You should also check the brake lines, as the previous failure noted corroded pipes covered in grease, which can sometimes be an attempt to hide rust from an inspector.
Request a full service history to confirm that the oil changes have been performed on time, as these diesel engines are sensitive to poor maintenance intervals. Given the recent CV boot failure and the worn brake discs, verify that these parts were actually replaced and not just noted as an advisory. Negotiate based on the fact that the car has recently required significant mechanical work to remain road-worthy.
The 1460cc diesel engine is excellent for fuel economy, likely achieving 60-70 mpg on longer routes if driven well. It typically sits in a low road tax band and a moderate insurance group, making it an economical choice for high-mileage commuters.
Maintenance costs for the Clio are generally average, but you should budget for frequent wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, as evidenced by the MOT record. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and tax, to sit between £900 and £1,200.
Focus heavily on the front offside steering area. The MOT history notes 'slight play' in the steering linkage ball joint and corroded coil springs; lift the car and physically check the bushes and ball joints for any clicking sounds or excessive movement that indicate imminent failure.
Examine the braking system thoroughly. The previous failure for corroded brake pipes covered in grease is a red flag for poor past maintenance. Look for any weeping fluid or rust along the metal lines. Additionally, inspect the CV boots for tears, as a split boot was a noted failure point and, left unaddressed, will lead to an expensive gearbox failure.
This 2015 Renault Clio 1.5 dCi has covered approximately 72,938 miles, which is relatively standard for its age. While it has just passed its MOT, the history leading up to this pass shows recurring issues with brake corrosion, steering linkage, and suspension wear. The frequency of failures in 2026 suggests the vehicle may have been driven with known faults rather than receiving preventative maintenance.
The 1.5 dCi engine is generally robust, but Renault's peripheral suspension and braking components are prone to corrosion in UK conditions.
