2009 Renault Megane Expression VVT 110 1.6L Other · XEZ 1096

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and commendable maintenance trend, evidenced by four consecutive clean passes in the most recent annual inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 31 October 2025 at 85,468 miles confirms the car is currently in a roadworthy state with no recorded defects or advisories. This record suggests a consistent standard of care, as the vehicle has successfully navigated the testing process without recurring mechanical failures or persistent safety concerns over the last four years. With a total of 85,468 miles accumulated over seventeen years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,028 miles annually, which is notably low for a car of this age. The mileage progression remains steady and logical, showing an increase of roughly 3,500 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, followed by a similar trend in subsequent years. The brief failure on 22 September 2022 at 76,811 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor oversight, as the vehicle passed just six days later with no documented repairs, indicating no underlying mechanical instability. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber components and suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods often suffer from perishing seals and seized brake calipers. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the exhaust system for corrosion and an inspection of the underside to ensure that long-term exposure to the elements has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis. Confirming the timing belt replacement interval remains the most critical priority, as this component is not covered by the MOT test and represents a significant maintenance requirement for this specific engine model.
