The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 ALIZE is a small, three-door supermini from the late-1990s Clio range. It sits in the UK’s city-car and small-hatchback market: compact and easy to park, yet roomier and more substantial than a basic runabout. The 1.4-litre petrol engine gives it a little more flexibility than entry-level versions. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 46 look-ups covering 36 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot, though not a large market-wide survey. Across those checks, the average most recently recorded mileage was 83,000 miles, with annual mileage averaging 3,000; cars had about 3.7 previous keepers on average. These figures describe checked cars, not every example. This Clio suits solo drivers, couples and first-time motorists wanting an affordable, straightforward commuter or town car, although three doors make rear access less convenient for families. Against Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa rivals, it is known for easy-going driving and simple, practical character.
