2009 Renault Megane 2.0L Petrol · AF09 GKU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 140,823 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The trend shows a recurring cycle where components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure, suggesting the owner performs minimum required between MOT intervals. At 140,823 miles, this 17-year-old Megane has averaged approximately 8,284 miles per year. This figure is consistent with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age, indicating steady use rather than long periods ofກັບ. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the car covered 6,154 miles, which represents a lower pace of roughly 3,000 miles per year. This lower annual mileage in recent years explains the age-related degradation of rubber-based components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record consistently flags worn, pitted, and scored brake discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating a failure to replace rotors in a timely manner. More critically, the 2025 failure for an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush suggests a need to check the entire front end for play or tear, which can compromise steering geometry and cause uneven tyre wear. Tyre condition is another area of concern, with the history showing issues of perished rubber, exposed cords, and structural tears between 2023 and 2025. The recurring presence of headlamp oxidation and windscreen discolouration further suggests aesthetic and minor preventative maintenance is neglected. A physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as vehicles of this era are prone to hidden integrity issues at this mileage.
