RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 ETOILE AUTO

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 ETOILE AUTO is a small, five-door supermini from the late 1990s: an easy-to-place city car rather than a family-sized hatchback. Its automatic gearbox and larger 1.6-litre engine make it a more relaxed choice than many basic small-car versions, especially in stop-start town traffic.
It suits commuters, couples and first-time owners wanting manageable dimensions, while five doors help with passengers and everyday errands. In mycarcheck.com usage data, this model has 68 look-ups covering 19 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this model. Those checks show an average recorded mileage of 51,000 miles and annual mileage of 1,000, suggesting some examples may have seen light recent use; condition and service history still matter.
Its average 3.6 previous keepers and £100 average private-sale figure are notable, but the latter is not a current asking-price guide. Compared with Fiesta, Corsa and Polo rivals, it offers automatic ease.
Buying a Renault Clio? Outstanding finance, theft, write-offs, hidden damage or mileage problems can turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
