Hello

Other than the known radiator support rust issues are there any other documented rust/corrosion areas that the Clio suffers from?
 
The boot lid under the window is another common one. As is the bracket for the rear abs sensors.
Subframe and rear beam corrode but it’s usually surface rust.

They’re not too bad really. A Ford of the same era would of needed the arches and sills done by now.
 
I have to say I’ve never owned a car that has so little rust issues. like you just said my 2016 fiesta st was rusted on the rear arches near the sill.
 
The corners of the rear quarter where they meet the side skirts can start to rust due to paint being chipped off.
