2011 Renault Megane 1.5L Petrol · HV11 AAE

The 2011 Renault Mégane holds a current MOT pass dated 19 March 2026 at 120,833 miles, confirming it remains roadworthy. The series of annual tests since February 2022 shows a consistent pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating pattern. Mileage accumulation has accelerated in recent years. Between February 2022 and March 2023 the car added only 2,616 miles, but the annual increase jumped to over 10,000 miles in each subsequent year, reaching 12,152 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This recent rise suggests heavier usage or longer trips, which places greater stress on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes. The test intervals remain regular, so there are no notable gaps in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect wear items that are not fully revealed by routine testing. Check tyre tread depth and even wear, examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess suspension bushes and shock absorbers for excessive play. Look for signs of rust on the chassis, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels, and listen for exhaust leaks. A visual check of the engine mounts and gearbox mounts will also reveal any developing fatigue. These components are subject to the higher mileage seen in the last two years and may require attention soon. Overall, the vehicle presents a reliable mechanical profile with no recurring faults, but the recent mileage surge means that routine servicing and careful inspection of high‑stress components are essential before purchase. The absence of any advisory items in the MOT suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard, yet a thorough pre‑sale examination will confirm whether the higher usage has introduced any hidden wear.
