2016 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · WJ16 AAV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on April 8 2026 at 76,378 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure exactly one day prior to successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test but passed twenty-four hours later, suggesting the owner addresses identified defects or replaces necessary components immediately once they are flagged during a re-test. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 50,926 miles and the 2025 test at 61,629 miles, the car covered 10,703 miles. The subsequent interval saw 14,749 miles covered up to April 2026. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests regular road use which is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and brake components compared to vehicles that suffer long periods of standing. While the recent records show no structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, the recurring one-day failures indicate a vehicle that operates on the edge of compliance limits. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Meganes of this mileage. Given the age of the car, a thorough check of the brake discs for pitting and the condition of the exhaust system is advisable to ensure that the recent passes are not masking underlying degradation that will soon require attention.
