This RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 RENAULTSPORT 172 is a compact three-door hot hatch, pairing everyday Clio practicality with a livelier character. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable performance hatchbacks, for drivers wanting more excitement than an ordinary supermini without choosing a larger car. Mycarcheck.com records 862 look-ups across 312 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this older model. Checks show average recorded mileage of 108,000 and annual mileage of 4,000; vehicles averaged just over eight previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £300, a data point rather than a guaranteed asking price. Best for enthusiasts wanting an engaging daily runabout or weekend car, it is less suited to families needing rear-seat access or new drivers seeking low insurance costs. Its sporty feel and compact size set it apart from the Peugeot 206 GTI and Ford Fiesta ST, while condition and service history deserve close attention.
