The RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 AUTHENTIQUE is a small, three-door diesel hatchback from a popular generation of Renault’s Clio. In the UK market, it sits among affordable superminis: compact and easy to park, with a simpler, lower-cost feel than a larger family car. Mycarcheck has recorded 36 checks across 32 distinct VINs, offering a modest snapshot of these cars. Checks show an average most recent mileage of 137,000 miles and annual use of 6,000 miles; the average recorded keeper count is about four. The average private-sale valuation is £200, a data-point rather than a guaranteed price, so condition, history and local demand matter greatly. Its modest diesel engine is suited to economical everyday travel. The three-door layout suits commuters, couples and first-time buyers seeking an inexpensive runabout, though rear access is less convenient for passengers. Against superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Peugeot 206, the Clio stands out for diesel economy and approachable driving. Check service history and condition; price alone tells little.
