Its manageable size makes this older Clio a practical runabout for commuters and first-time drivers. mycarcheck.com records 1,671 checks covering 933 different VINs, a useful sample for used-car shoppers. Across these records, average latest recorded mileage is 83,000, while annual use averages about 4,000 miles. Cars had around 4.5 previous keepers on average, so ownership histories vary.
