2013 Renault Clio D Que S M Nav Nrg DCI S/s
CarHunch analysed 148 real MOT records for the 2013 Renault Clio D Que S M Nav Nrg DCI S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2013 Renault Clio diesel is noticeably less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 66.8% against the national benchmark of 80%—meaning roughly one in three vehicles will need a repair before passing MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety failures aren't the issue; instead, expect routine mechanical problems.
At nearly 80,000 miles on the clock, these cars average 1.23 failures per MOT, which is typical wear-and-tear stuff for a petrol-like diesel of this age. If you're considering one, budget for regular repairs and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the fuel system and emissions controls, where diesel Clios often stumble.
What to check before buying a 2013 Renault Clio D Que S M Nav Nrg DCI S/s
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.
