Known weak points
- 1.5 dCi (K9K): the particulate filter clogs on short trips, also check the EGR valve and injectors
- Clio IV with the EDC dual-clutch: known clutch and mechatronics issues, test for clean shifts
- Early 0.9 and 1.0 TCe turbo petrols: keep an eye on the oil level and the turbo
- The Easy Link infotainment can freeze, check the small electrics (switches, sensors)
Verdict: which to buy?
For the city the TCe 90, for low consumption the E-Tech full hybrid, for high mileage the Blue dCi. The Clio V (from 2019) is more refined and safer than the Clio IV, EDC versions only with a documented history.
For city and commuter drivers after an affordable, frugal small car with a modern cockpit.
