2011 Renault Megane Expression DCI ECO 1.5L Heavy oil · HV11 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a valid MOT as of 21 July 2026 at 155 966 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance history shows a stable to improving trend; after two isolated failures in 2014 and 2016 the car has passed every subsequent annual test without fault. The most recent pass confirms that the suspension, braking system, lighting, and structural components were deemed compliant at the time of inspection. Mileage accumulation aligns with the typical usage pattern for a 15‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 10 400 miles per year. The MOT entries are generally annual, though a gap appears between the July 2019 test (88 966 miles) and the July 2021 test (108 717 miles), suggesting a possible missed renewal or a period of reduced use. The 2016 entry records a front offside shock absorber fluid leak at 49 673 miles, a fault that was rectified before the next pass. No rapid mileage spikes are evident, indicating consistent rather than aggressive usage. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the suspension system for signs of oil leakage around the front shock absorbers and check for worn suspension bushes or coil spring deterioration. Brake condition demands attention: examine pad thickness, listen for caliper binding, and assess disc surface for uneven wear or corrosion. The offside side repeater lamp and windscreen wiper mechanism should be tested for secure mounting and effective operation, as these were previously flagged. Finally, verify that the registration plate mounting is secure and assess the underbody for rust or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and cumulative mileage.
