In 2025, 57.0% of Renault Clio MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 69.7% of the time, so the Renault Clio does worse than average for its age, by 12.7 points.

DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Renault Clios tested, the MTV among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Renault Clio page.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2007.
  • This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “CLIO MTV”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
  • Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the most licensed at any year end since 1994, plus any first registered after that year. Other versions are those of the same model whose licensed count peaked in the same years, up to 2001.
