RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 EXTREME

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 65 EXTREME is a small three-door diesel supermini, a familiar UK used-car choice. Easy to park, it suits town errands and commuting; rear seats and a useful boot offer flexibility for occasional passengers or shopping.

The 1.5 dCi prioritises economical, steady motoring over quick acceleration, appealing to commuters and cost-conscious drivers. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Peugeot 206, the Clio is an approachable, practical small car. Extreme trim brings a sportier look, but age makes checking condition and service history especially important.

mycarcheck.com records 28 look-ups covering 25 different VINs, a modest sample. Checked examples averaged 110,000 miles, around 6,000 miles a year, and 4.2 previous keepers. The recorded average private-sale valuation was £100, an unusually low figure that should not be treated as a normal asking price; individual cars vary greatly with condition, history and location.

Before buying a Renault Clio, check for outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could leave you with a costly problem.
