The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 RN is a small, five-door petrol supermini, built for straightforward everyday motoring. In the UK it sits in the affordable small-car class, where compact dimensions and easy parking matter. Its extra rear doors make it more practical than many three-door city cars. The mycarcheck.com record is very limited: three look-ups covered two distinct VINs, so its figures should be treated as clues rather than a reliable picture of all Clios. The checked cars averaged 89,000 miles and eight previous keepers; reported annual mileage averaged 1,000. The average private-sale valuation is shown as £0, which is not a usable guide to today’s price. It is best suited to budget-conscious commuters, first-time drivers and small households needing simple everyday transport. The 1.2-litre engine is aimed at town journeys, while the Clio’s compact feel helped it compete with the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Fiat Punto.
