RENAULT MEGANE2017 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-10-28 at 181,727 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. Previous tests from 2023-11-01 (153,201 miles) and 2022-10-29 (126,565 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2022-10-28 at 126,563 miles was noted with no defects recorded. This suggests the car has maintained roadworthiness, but the lack of recorded defects in recent tests does not confirm the absence of underlying issues. The mileage progression reveals a significant annual average of 20,192 miles, exceeding typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle. From 2021-10-28 (97,920 miles) to 2022-10-28 (126,563 miles), the car accumulated 28,643 miles in 12 months, reflecting intense usage. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such defects were flagged. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring faults or advisories. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade under high-mileage conditions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high usage can accelerate these issues. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the high mileage warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
