Renault Clio Rl Paris (1998)
1998 Renault Clio Rl Paris
CarHunch is tracking 305 1998 Renault Clio Rl Paris vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1998 Renault Clio RL Paris has a 0% first-time pass rate—a stark contrast to the UK average of 80%—meaning every vehicle tested failed its MOT on first attempt. With zero dangerous defects recorded and an average of zero failures and zero advisories per vehicle, the data itself appears incomplete or corrupted, making it impossible to draw reliable conclusions about the actual condition of these cars.
The median CarHunch score of 50 and complete absence of mileage data suggest this cohort may represent a very small or anomalous dataset rather than a true picture of the model's reliability. If you're considering one of these 26-year-old Clios, treat this MOT history as unreliable guidance and instead get a full pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic, as the aggregated statistics don't tell you what you need to know.
We have 305 1998 Renault Clio Rl Paris vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1998 Renault Clio Rl Paris
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
