The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9D GRANDE is a small five-door supermini, designed for easy everyday driving rather than carrying a family. In the UK it sits among compact, practical hatchbacks, competing with cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 106. Its extra doors make rear-seat access straightforward, while its size helps in town and when parking. The 1.9-litre diesel gives this Clio a more economical, unhurried character than a petrol city car, making it suited to commuting, errands and budget-conscious drivers. Grande trim and five-door practicality add appeal, though buyers should expect an older-car experience rather than modern comfort, safety equipment or quietness. An inspection and service-history check matter at this age. Mycarcheck.com records six look-ups across four distinct VINs, so this is a small sample, not a market-wide picture. Checked cars averaged 112,000 miles and 4.3 previous keepers; no average valuation was available. These figures offer useful context, but each used RENAULT CLIO’s condition and history will vary.
