Renault Clio D Que M Nav Energy DCI Ss (2014)
2014 Renault Clio D Que M Nav Energy DCI Ss
CarHunch analysed 269 real MOT records for the 2014 Renault Clio D Que M Nav Energy DCI Ss. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Clio diesel is noticeably less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 70.6% against the typical 80%, suggesting one in three owners face repairs before their MOT is approved. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so the failures are fixable rather than safety-critical issues.
At nearly 80,000 miles median, these cars are genuinely high-mileage examples, yet they're averaging 1.04 failures per test—a modest burden for their age and distance. If you're considering one, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on diesel engine condition and suspension wear, as these are the likely culprits behind the elevated failure rate.
What to check before buying a 2014 Renault Clio D Que M Nav Energy DCI Ss
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.
