Looking at a clio tomorrow - kentiiboii - 17-04-2013
So as you all know mrs passed her test and were looking for a car for her.
Shes found a lovely looking clio on gumtree near us. 1 owner from new 45k miles 13 months mot and it had tax. Was advertised 8 days ago but they still have it. Price is currently £1095ovno.
I know theyll but on the price even more so it hasnt been sold in 8 days.
I know nothing about renault. So if you could tell me what the engines are like and whats the body like for rot and things that would be great.
Thanks in advanced

Old owner or young owner? Should have a good history with it being only one owner! Sounds like a better car than she was looking at before lol!

Great fun to drive tbh.. Just watch out for head gaskets on the smaller engined ones!
What year is it?
Sounds like a good buy with the mileage though!

Shame it's french though......oh wait.

Well been looking at corsa 1.2 which arnt so bad a engine.
Im positive its a lady owner sounds old if its 1 owner. 52 plate as well. Just wondered if theres abything other than the usual.
Every 106 I seen has head gasket failure.

1.2 engines are ok only if looked after....personally the 1.2 is a gutless fricking waste of metal that does pathetic mpgs....but there cheap to insure!
immobiliser issues on early ones can make a car scrap and check rear lights for earthing issues....if you think 306s can be bad...Renaults take the biscuit.
easy to fix...but you dont need to tell the seller that
electrics also, so try everything to ensure it works
normally ok on rust...if anywhere check chassis rails just behind from sub frame
so what engine and what year?!
personally.....I wouldnt....but Micra 1.0 16vs are bullet proof, cute for a lass and fun to drive

Sunroofs leak like mad..

These are prone for engine loom issues theres a metal bracket behind the head that cuts into the loom, Give a good shake while the engine is running to see if it runs crap.
