2002 Renault Clio: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 53% pass first time (all 2002 cars: 58%) Stands out: headlights 1.9×, anti-roll bar link bushes 4.7×, steering rack 4.4× 9,166 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 51% pass first time (all 2002 cars: 58%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link bushes 6.1×, headlights 1.8×, coil springs 1.9× 943 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
