The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 RXE is a small, three-door petrol hatchback from the 1990s, aimed at buyers wanting practical transport without a large-car footprint. In the UK market, the Clio sits among superminis: compact and easy to place in town, yet more substantial than a city car. The 1.6-litre engine gives the RXE a livelier feel than entry-level versions, suiting commutes, errands and longer trips, and valued for easy town driving. Its three-door layout is less convenient than a five-door rival, so it best fits singles, couples or small households, rather than families often carrying rear passengers. mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks across two VINs, a small sample rather than a market-wide picture. Records show average mileage of 122,000 and annual use of 8,000 miles, plus six keepers on average. No private-sale valuation is available, so check the car’s history and condition before judging its price.
