Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless you are prepared to address structural rust issues. While the mileage is impressive for the age, the presence of corrosion on the sills is a significant red flag.
When inspecting this Clio, your primary focus must be the structural integrity. The most recent MOT in 2025 noted 'offside outer sill corroded,' which is a common weak point for this era of Renault and can be expensive to repair if it spreads. Check the wheel arches, sills, and floor pans for any bubbling paint or deep-seated surface rust.
Ask for a full service history, as the car shows a history of suspension-related wear (anti-roll bar links and bushes). Given the age, ensure the timing belt has been replaced recently, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of mileage. If there is no proof of a belt change in the last few years, use this as a significant point for negotiation.
