Our Verdict
Exercise caution. While the mileage is r
Prospective buyers should scrutinise the repair invoices for the September 2025 and September 2024 failures. Specifically, verify that the ABS and ESC faults were permanently resolved and that the offside and nearside front suspension components were replaced rather than patched. Given the repeated failures of CV boots and ball joints, a thorough test drive is essential to check for any clicking or knocking sounds from the front end.
Negotiate the price based on the remaining advisories. The parking brake efficiency was noted as 'only just' meeting the requirement, and the rear coil springs are corroded, both of which will likely require attention before the next MOT. Ensure the service history supports the low mileage and includes evidence of diesel-specific maintenance.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers, though its low annual usage suggests it may be prone to DPF issues if only used for short trips. Insurance groups for the Clio are typically low to mid-range, and the road tax for a 2015 diesel is generally moderate.
Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average due to the observed fragility of the suspension and braking components. Budgeting for the inevitable replacement of the corroded rear coil springs and parking brake adjustment is recommended. Estimated annual costs include fuel, VED, insurance, and a maintenance fund.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system; check the rear brake pipes for signs of the corrosion noted in 2024 and test the parking brake's holding power. Examine the rear coil springs for the corrosion flagged in the September 2025 MOT.
Carefully inspect the front suspension arms and CV boots on both sides. As this vehicle has a history of failures in these areas (both nearside and offside), look for any new splits in the rubber boots or excessive play in the ball joints. Finally, ensure no warning lights for ABS or ESC illuminate on the dashboard during start-up or driving.
This black 2015 Renault Clio 1.5L diesel has covered 67,314 miles. The vehicle's record shows MOT failures in both 2024 and 2025, with significant issues involving CV boots, ball joints, and electronic braking faults (ABS/ESC). Although it passed its most recent test in September 2025, it retains advisories regarding rear coil spring corrosion and parking brake efficiency.
The Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4%, with suspension arms identified as one of the top reasons for failure across the model range.
