The RENAULT CLIO (2005-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 VVT INITIALE AUTO is a small urban five-door supermini, yet roomier and more grown-up than a basic city car. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, with a more premium trim focus. Mycarcheck.com records 22 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,100, average recorded mileage of 77,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven yearly. With about four previous keepers on average, individual cars’ histories deserve a careful check. The 2.0-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox make this Clio more relaxed and punchy than small hatchbacks, while Initiale trim gives it a more upmarket feel. It suits commuters or couples wanting an easy-to-drive, compact car, though running costs may exceed smaller-engined rivals; check service records, condition and automatic operation.
