1997 RENAULT MEGANE1.4L PETROL

The most recent MOT record is from January 2007, meaning there is no evidence of the vehicle's roadworthiness for nearly twenty years. This represents a significant risk as the current condition is entirely unknown. The last recorded test in 2007 was a failed test. It showed several defects including non-functional headlamps and a stop lamp, an insufficient windscreen washer, and a broken nearside front coil spring. There were also serious exhaust emissions failures regarding hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 3,378 miles per year. While this suggests light use, such low mileage often implies the car has spent long periods standing. This can lead to the perishing of rubber components and other degradation that occurs when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Because the data ends in 2007, it is impossible to determine if the condition is improving or worsening, but the last known trend was a decline from a clean pass in 2006 to multiple defects in 2007. The most important checks for a buyer are to inspect the suspension for broken springs, check all lighting and washer systems, and carefully evaluate the engine's emissions and general running state given the previous failures.
