Buying Tips for the Renault Megane Mk2

  • Test both key cards, every electric window and every warning light because electrical faults are the first thing to separate a good Mk2 from a bad one
  • The 1.5 dCi is only worth buying with clear evidence of diligent oil changes and injector or turbo care
  • Check the electronic parking brake and steering-lock behaviour repeatedly, not just once
  • Front suspension wear and broken springs are common MOT issues on neglected cars
