The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V ALIZE AUTO is a small, three-door petrol hatchback from Renault’s popular supermini range. Its compact size and automatic gearbox make it a straightforward choice for town driving, parking and short commutes, while the Alize trim gives it a more equipped feel than a bare-bones city car. In mycarcheck.com data, this version has attracted 65 look-ups covering 36 distinct VINs, a useful sample for an older, less common automatic Clio. The checks show an average recorded mileage of 66,000 miles and annual use of around 1,000 miles; owners had averaged almost four previous keepers. The recorded average private-sale valuation is £100, an unusually low figure that should be treated as a data snapshot, not a guide to today’s asking prices. Against Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, it stands out for easy automatic driving, suiting urban commuters who value a simple, practical small car.
