How many miles does a clio engine last for?

[cliomadcharley]

Im currently driving around in my 1.2 with 154000 miles but im looking to buy a clio 1.6 si with 130000 does this matter? i know its high mileage but will it last?

depends on a lot of factors, mainly when its been serviced and if its always been looked after. if its got a perfect service history then it should be fine, the bigger clio engines are tough old girls

depends how well its been looked after .. and any previous rebuilds etc. it may be fine for another 20k or it may drop to bits in the first 3k ... gotta also think why is the person selling it at this point rather than running it into the ground etc

Engines will easily last higher mileages now. They are much better built and the oils used are far better at protecting the internals. It all depends how well its been serviced and how its been driven.

Not a lot. Took it to bits, forged it and now it's got s supercharger hanging off of it and revving it to 8 grand

My old GTi-6 was at 150k of hard miles and never grumbled.
Personally the way it's been driven and the quality of servicing is more important to me than the miles - most of my cars have been high milers.

I repaired a cambelt failure on a 1.4 with 155k on the clock. Bores were like new. New set of valves, gaskets and a cambelt kit and I expect it'll keep going for another 50k at least

Dave's Trophy is on or approaching 180k.

Still pulls like a train.
