Some cars are designed to do 0–60 in under four seconds. This isn’t one of them. This is designed to get you from A to B with no drama, no breakdowns, and no calls to your bank manager. And that’s why it’s perfect — especially if you’re a first-time driver who doesn’t fancy turning your first year of motoring into a very expensive insurance claim. This 1.2-litre petrol will give you around 48 mpg, it’s ULEZ compliant so you can glide through London without coughing up £12.50 a day, and it’s in insurance group 8, which is basically the automotive equivalent of being a “safe bet.” Spec-wise, being the I-Music, it’s got all the little touches that make everyday driving nicer — from decent audio to comfortable seats — and, crucially, it looks smart without being flashy. But the real story here is the history. This Clio has been serviced like clockwork: 18,430 miles – Service 27,934 miles – Service 31,344 miles – Service 33,867 miles – Service 48,177 miles – Service 51,871 miles – Service 61,394 miles – Service We’ll service it again before sale So, you’re getting a ULEZ-compliant, economical, cheap-to-insure hatchback that’s been cared for properly, looks good, and is just about perfect for someone’s first car… or for anyone who simply wants motoring without the headaches.
