RENAULT MEGANE2010 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 2010 Renault Megane, dated 2017-11-03, passed with a noted issue of slight movement in the offside front Macpherson strut at the upper attachment. This is a minor concern but should be monitored. The vehicle's MOT history shows a recurring pattern of issues with the front suspension and braking system. The 2017-11-01 MOT failure highlighted serious problems including a seriously weakened front brake disc, thinning front brake pads, excessive play in the front anti-roll bar linkage, and issues with the nearside front suspension arm. These are significant safety concerns that indicate wear and potential neglect in the maintenance of the vehicle. The trend in the MOT history suggests a worsening condition, particularly in the front suspension and braking systems. The 2016-10-29 MOT also showed worn and pitted front brake discs, along with excessive play in the track rod end ball joints. The 2015-10-31 MOT had similar, albeit less severe, issues with the front brake discs and tyres close to the legal limit. The mileage of 140,324 miles over about 16 years (approximately 8,770 miles per year) is typical for its age, suggesting regular use rather than periods of under-use or hard use. However, the consistent issues with the front suspension and braking components suggest that the vehicle may have been subjected to more stress than the mileage alone would indicate.
