MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Renault Megane (Y556 KRN) between June 2006 and August 2013.

The record contains 7 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 29 August 2013 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (10 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Windscreen (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1)”; “Front Tyre(s) incorrect because tyres with different aspect ratios are fitted on the same axle. (4.1.A.1a)”; “Nearside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (1.7.5a)”.
