highest mileage seen on a clio?

[dmn1989]

whats the highest mileage anyone has seen on a clio?

a guy came into my work to trade in his 54 plate clio dynamique 1.2 16v.

the clock read 236000. was totally shocked. he didnt think id offer any money as a p/x and was surprised when we were willing to give him 500 for it.

he said only thing hes done to it was changed the belts and got the clutch done at the same time as the timing belt

didnt believe him when he said it was nearly 250000 so was properly shocked when i saw it

Christ...thats pretty good going for a 5 year old car!!

That's 236000 seriously boring miles that is.

lol

 

[Monaco Sean]

especially in a 1.2, surely knowing the mileage he had planned a DCi would have suited him better.

 

[RDH]

I knew that my next 236000 miles of driving was going to be in my 1.2 I think I'd give the DVLA my license back.

 

[Russ_16v]

makes my 131k seem just ran in lol

 

[daydotz]

crumbs is he looking at another clio 1.2

 

[Guppy]

Impressive tbh

 

[minismithy90]

Would like to see what BHP its running now lol

 

[Luke_m]

that would make an average of about 130 miles a day. In that car it must have been a fun 5 years of driving!!

So really if you were going by the book then you would be on the 3rd timing belt change....?

Christ, that's almost the distance to the Moon. Maybe Renault should buy it back and use it for research.

[CHUFFER]

My clio williams 1 had 207000 miles on it when I sold it 7 years back.
As you can imagine it had got quite tired at the end.

 

[Martin_172]

ive never had anything near that ive had...

1.2 16v 140k - ENGINE DEAD BY THIS POINT!! pissing out oil everywhere from rocker cover, ran like a pile of shite but went really well lol! used about a litre of oil to a litre of fuel lol.

1.5 dci 65 155k, ran like brand new!!

 

[ukaskew]

Not entirely on topic, but I did 120,000 miles in Clios between my 17th and 24th birthday, and I never had a single breakdown, major fault or problem. I only ever had basic service parts replaced when required. Only one of those Clios was bought new, and one of them was given to me with 70k already on it, I sold it without about 120k on it iirc.

Apart from the melted steering wheel in my Cup, nothing ever went wrong. Pretty impressive for a 'dodgy French hatchback', really.
