2016 RENAULT MEGANE1.5L DIESEL

The 2016 Renault Megane holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 October 2025 at 110,233 miles, following an initial failure on the same day for a non-functioning nearside rear stop lamp that was rectified before the pass. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a recurring pattern of deferred brake and tyre wear. Rear brake discs were flagged as worn and pitted in the October 2025 pass, while rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin, indicating these components are approaching replacement. Front brake discs were similarly flagged as worn and pitted in October 2023 at 74,509 miles, suggesting brake wear has been a consistent issue across both axles over the last three years without evidence of a long-term fix. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The car covered roughly 16,747 miles between October 2023 and October 2025, a slightly higher annual rate than the overall average of 11,023 miles per year, pointing to increased recent use. The gap between the September 2024 test at 91,256 miles and the October 2025 test at 110,233 miles confirms this acceleration. No significant MOT gaps are present in the provided record, giving a continuous view of the vehicle's condition over the last three years. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The repeated advisories on worn and pitted front and rear brake discs, combined with thin rear pads, suggest the braking components may have been run to or beyond their service limits. Check for lipping, scoring, and disc thickness, and confirm whether any brake work has been done since the October 2025 test. The recurring tyre wear advisories on both front wheels in 2023 and 2024, including one instance of tread below the 1.6mm legal minimum, indicate possible alignment or suspension geometry issues. Inspect inner and outer tyre shoulders unevenly, and examine front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints for play. The 2023 engine MIL fault, while cleared, warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm no stored fault codes remain and to verify the catalytic converter and lambda sensors are functioning correctly, given the emissions-related nature of that defect.
