RENAULT MEGANE2011 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 11 April 2025 at 110,983 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of clean passes with no defects or advisories noted in the final three tests. This suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old car, averaging roughly 7,399 miles per year. There was a period of very low usage between January 2021 and March 2023, where the odometer moved only 677 miles from 84,695 to 85,372. Usage increased significantly thereafter, with 25,611 miles added between March 2023 and April 2025. The failure on 5 April 2024 was resolved within a week, though the record does not specify the exact fault, which is unusual for a failed test. Despite the clean MOT history, the age and mileage of this Megane necessitate a manual check of common wear points. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracks, as these often degrade without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is also essential for a vehicle of this vintage. The lack of recorded advisories over several years is positive, but it does not guarantee the condition of consumables. Verify the remaining thickness of the brake discs and pads and check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox. Given the period of inactivity between 2021 and 2023, ensuring the battery and rubber seals remain supple is a prudent step.
