Renault Clio Bizu (2011)
2011 Renault Clio Bizu
CarHunch analysed 127 real MOT records for the 2011 Renault Clio Bizu. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Renault Clio Bizu falls short of the UK average, with a 73% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, suggesting these cars are more likely to need repairs before MOT certification. The good news is that no vehicles in this sample have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety failures are not a pattern concern here.
At 66,300 miles median, these cars are showing typical wear for their age, yet they're averaging 1.26 failures per test—higher than you'd expect for the mileage, pointing to common wear-and-tear issues rather than major structural problems. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, brakes, and fluid leaks, as these are likely where the recurring test failures cluster.
What to check before buying a 2011 Renault Clio Bizu
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
