2010 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · AP10 FMZ

The Renault Megane currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 May 2026 at 67,423 miles. The vehicle displays a stable maintenance trend, having passed every test since 2022 without a failure. While the most recent inspection identified slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, this is a common consumable item for a vehicle of this age and does not currently compromise the vehicle's roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 67,423 over sixteen years averages approximately 4,200 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this vintage. The usage pattern appears consistent, with annual increments ranging between 3,000 and 5,000 miles. This low-mileage profile suggests the car may have spent considerable time in storage or served as a secondary vehicle, which often helps preserve the drivetrain but can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals due to infrequent use. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically the nearside lower arm ball joint flagged in the latest test. The history indicates a recurring pattern of brake pad wear, noted in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the braking system requires proactive monitoring despite the low annual mileage. Inspect the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the 2024 test highlighted issues with edge wear, which can be an early indicator of misaligned tracking or worn steering geometry. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframe and brake lines is recommended to ensure long-term structural integrity.
