Buying Tips for the Renault Megane Mk3

  • ✓Check keyless entry and all door-handle buttons because handle microswitches fail with age
  • ✓Verify the electronic parking brake engages and releases smoothly on repeated cycles
  • ✓On 1.5 dCi cars, solid service history matters more than mileage because turbo, EGR and injector condition follow maintenance quality
  • ✓Listen for interior blower issues and suspension knocks because both are common annoyances
