The RENAULT CLIO (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V EXTREME 2 is a small petrol supermini for affordable everyday motoring. In the UK market, it offers the easy parking and manageable size expected of a hatchback, with more space than a tiny city car. Mycarcheck.com recorded 316 checks across 188 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this older Clio. Its 1.2 16V petrol engine suits town driving, commuting and occasional longer trips, while the three-door layout is best for singles, couples or first-time drivers rather than households regularly carrying passengers. Checks show average recorded mileage of 85,000 and annual use of 4,000 miles; cars averaged almost five previous keepers. Extreme 2 trim gives the Clio a youthful feel, and its compact size is less daunting than rivals such as the Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa. Mycarcheck’s average private-sale valuation is £200, so condition and history matter when assessing value.
