depends on how well it been looked after, same with any car tbh.
same as any other car things wear and things break.
Unless they're Renault/FIAT items, in which case they will wear and break sooner due to being poor quality.
I wouldn't touch another Renault, unless it had a comprehensive warranty. And even then, judging by the way Renault handled my three engine wiring looms on my 1.2 during the first 9 months of my ownership, I would still have to think long and hard about whether I really wanted hassle when (not if) something goes.
Renault UK, however, are meant to be very good at sorting things.
From what I have seen the RS models are built better than the 1.2s ( other not RS versions)
I've no problems with my 172 other than wear and tear. Now on 131k.
German cars never break. Ask Immi.![]()
