2009 RENAULT CLIO

The good bits:

* I have owned it since June 2021 and looked after it. It was serviced and maintained by The Clio Man (Gary) in Littlehampton, who knows those cars well.

* Engine and gearbox run very smoothly as the box syncros were done a couple of years ago. A known fault but a permanent fix.

* During my ownership the engine was always carefully warmed up and never used any oil (checked every 1,000 miles or so)

* The entire exhaust line was renewed for a stainless steel one with a lifetime warranty (the original rarely survives more than 15 years)

* The bodywork is in a very good condition, not just for the age of the car

*The car drives very smoothly without any suspension noises. The suspension is original so it clearly had an easy life before me and since then, no signs of track use.

* The brake discs and pads are recent. The tyres have plenty of life. (Goodyear Eagle)

* Fresh MOT and service. New battery.

* Re trimmed steering wheel with yellow stitching

* Brand new Renault original mats with yellow stitching

The less good bits:

* There is a very small crack in the front bumper. I had repair quotes for around £200 but I will leave it for the next owner to decide if this is critical. It is purely cosmetic.

* There is a small tear in the driver’s seat. Quotes are around £100 for repair.

I have priced the car based on the above 2 points. Please do not forget this is a 17 year old car.

The car will come with 2 keys, original documents and a pile of receipt/invoices.
