Miles...

If its been serviced and looked after and no issues allowed to become a serious problem millage shouldnt be a problem with any car
ditto :thumbup1:
Good question, I just hit 20k in a 57 plate and I'm paranoid about it. However, Iv'e been looking for a second car (MPS 3) and I don't bat an eyelid when I see a 58 plate with 20k on the clock. I suppose when it gets right up there in the 80's plus it might be something to think about.

our 182 had 39k on it when we brought it, the car was 2 years 5 months old. so u could say it had high mileage on it but the previous owner maintained it well and the damn thing pulls like a train. So mileage seems to help the Clio engine
Yeah as Rich said, the more miles on the clio the more they open up. My R27 has 22k now and you feel it opening up and changing ever so slightly!
Even my old 1.2 was a example. When i got it brand new it was slugish, but once it hit 35k and up to when i sold it at 40k (warranty expired) it felt alot better.

Why worry about warranty running out? Just purchase Extended warranty before it runs out. On renault website....

Not necessarily. Think of case were most people had extended warranty. Then if no one else has suffered the same problem by same time/mileage, then could be argued that not normal wear and tear; since all cars would be showing the problem? Food for thought. The problem with them arguing down to normal wear and tear exists anyway. No different, but would rather be with warranty.
I know for some people, including myself, that the thought of warranty expiring prompts a new car, but this could be a cost effective alternative to shelling out for another car. Especially when its one that you may have lavished lots of love and attention over, not to mention ££££. Also good for resale value?
