RENAULT MEGANE2002 · 1.4L Petrol

As of the most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 146,197 miles, the Renault Megane holds a valid MOT pass, though the DVSA record shows a same-day fail with no defects logged prior to the pass. The maintenance trend across the three available annual tests is stable, with no mechanical defects or advisories recorded from January 2024 through January 2026. The car displays 146,197 miles over roughly 24 years, equating to about 6,092 miles per year, a typical usage rate for its age. The records show modest annual increments: 141,819 miles in January 2024, 144,716 in January 2025, and 146,197 in January 2026, a cumulative gain of 4,378 miles across two years. No gaps exceed twelve months between tests, and the clean record with no advisories points to either light use or conscientious basic upkeep, though the twin fail-pass entries on both 14 January 2025 and 14 January 2026 hint at administrative re-tests rather than owner-neglected faults. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a 2002 Megane at this mileage demands physical scrutiny of wear-prone components. The buyer should examine suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess structural integrity for corrosion in sills and subframes. The lack of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from hidden rust or perished rubber, given the era. The repeated same-day fail without defects suggests previous owners may have presented the car for test without addressing minor non-mechanical compliance such as documentation, yet rectified promptly. Prospective purchaser ought to verify service history and confirm the V5C details match the test anomalies.
