The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V SI is a three-door petrol hatchback from Renault’s supermini range. It sits in the UK city-car and compact-hatchback market: easier to park than a family car, but more substantial than a runabout. Its 1.4-litre engine offers flexibility for town trips and longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com records are limited, with 13 checks covering 11 different VINs, so treat the figures as a guide rather than a full-market picture. The checked cars averaged 87,000 miles and around 6,000 miles annually. They had about 6.2 previous keepers on average, making service history and condition checks especially worthwhile. As a Renault Clio, it is best suited to first-time buyers and couples seeking a straightforward car for commuting or errands. Against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, it offers supermini practicality in a compact package. Its three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers, so inspect examples carefully.
