View Clio Mk4 DirectoryBuying Tips for the Renault Clio Mk4
- ✓On EDC cars, test for hesitation and shudder in slow traffic and on inclines because short drives do not always show the issue
- ✓Ask directly whether the 1.2 TCe uses oil between services; vague answers are a bad sign
- ✓Test the R-Link screen thoroughly for lag, reboots and Bluetooth issues
- ✓Check the MOT history for repeated rear suspension, spring or brake advisories on higher-mileage cars
