Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
When inspecting this 2.0L variant, focus on the specific requirements of the larger engine compared to standard Clio models. Ensure you verify the exact cause of the MOT failure on 7 May 2025, as although it was passed a week later, the specific defect is not listed in the summary data.
Given the vehicle is over 20 years old, check for age-related deterioration. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any evidence of corrosion, and request a full service history to see how the 2.0L engine has been managed during its low-mileage life.
The 1998cc petrol engine will result in higher fuel consumption and a higher road tax bracket than the smaller engine Clio options. Insurance groups for the 2.0L variant are typically higher, reflecting the increased power of this specific engine size.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age can be unpredictable, though the low mileage may reduce wear on major components. You should budget for annual servicing and the replacement of age-related rubber components.
Pay close attention to the areas identified as common failure points for this model: the headlamps, suspension arms, and the exhaust system. Check the exhaust for leaks or excessive corrosion and inspect the suspension arms for wear or play.
Additionally, examine the black paintwork for fading or clear-coat failure, which is common on older vehicles. Check the engine bay for any oil leaks associated with the 2.0L engine and ensure all electrical components are functioning correctly.
This 2002 black Renault Clio features a 1998cc petrol engine and has recorded 72,086 miles. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record with three passes and one failure between 2023 and 2025. The low overall mileage makes it a notable example of this specific model variant.
The Renault Clio has an average MOT pass rate of 72.4% across over 369,000 analysed vehicles.
