2002 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · YV02 BAK

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 26, 2025 at 90,592 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards over the last three successful tests. While the history shows failures in both 2023 and 2025, the subsequent passes indicate that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects to ensure the vehicle remained legal. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,775 miles per year. Between June 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 2,016 miles, while it covered 2,139 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This infrequent usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or was used sparingly. However, low mileage on a car of this age often issues with perished seals, degraded fluids, and the degradation of rubber components that age regardless of mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as older Renault Meganes are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe areas. Because the car sits frequently, the buyer must check for seized brake calipers, perished brake hoses, and cracking in the suspension bushes. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres for age rot, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from flat spots and dry cracking despite having ample tread depth.
