100,000 mile clio sport? Problems?

[clvs2222]

high guys, interested in a sport which is touching 100k.

It has been serviced regulary aparently. so what kind of problems are going to arise, that people know of?

I bet my 1st one is it was on 35k when warren sold it to me, i sold it with nearly 70k on 2 years ago !

my x reg 172 is now on 102500 miles and doesnt miss a beat...i have not long had to replace the rad but thats it....as long as the service history is up to date ther shouldnt be a problem

Mine's been serviced religiously every 6k from new, and regularly abused on track.

Most of the regular Renault problems are sorted early on in their lives...I had 3 wiring looms within the first 36k, and it's been fine since all the way to 103k so far.

I think there's quite a few at 100+ now, and not heard of any problems. If they're looked after well, they last well.

to true but whats the chances the previous owner has looked after the car like u

Neglected examples will show bad wear and tear, if its been treated well it should last!

pretty much what i was gonna say - all depends on the owners

 

[Munson]

What everyone else said, basically. Most of the faults on them were as a result of being new. If the car's been properly maintained, then all the bits that Renault didn't (and still don't) give a s**t about, will already have been fixed.

I'd definitely want to be very very confident about the cars history If you are, then the milegae shouldn't be reason to worry you

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Which model is it?

 

[clvs2222]

172 mk2 ph2. non cup

51 plate

 

[Josh@Renparts]

if the cars cheap enough and your happy with the condition/way it runs i would be confident. you can buy a complete engine for sub 500 pounds now so thats your worst case scenario really.

My phase 1 is currently on 91000k miles and is still in perfect working order! Just have an engine mount that I need to get done, nothing else bar that.

 

[traffmeister]

i would look at cam belt, aux belt, filters - oil ..etc maybe get fuel oil chnage and new filter and i would look also to check tires and your springs but if they okay you'll be fine to make sure you get oil chnaged and belts looked ta the most

 

[jon_r]

I know of a couple on 100k plus and provided they've been serviced as they should've been there are no problems. 100k isn't a big deal for modern cars and engines these days like it was in the past.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Buy my Phase One, its got 49,500 on the clock, one previous owner!

 

[Jay Payne]

wear and tear items such as wheel bearings, shocks might need soing but no big deal. As said cambelt and aux belt isthe biggest concern (make sure they have been done) regualr oil changes (doesnt have to be done at Renault)

My phase1 is on 105k and has had several owners.
