2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · AV12 AEY

The 2012 Renault Megane demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-28 confirming no defects at 167,434 miles. A review of the four consecutive annual tests from 2023 to 2026 shows consistent passing results, though a duplicate entry for 2025-02-14 (both PASSED and FAILED) at 158,942 miles introduces ambiguity. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged in the valid tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the latest assessment supports a neutral outlook on its mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 167,434 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,960 miles, typical for its 14-year age. Regular MOT testing every 12 months indicates a consistent maintenance routine, though the 2025-02-14 anomaly raises questions about record accuracy. The 2024-02-17 test at 153,545 miles and 2023-02-25 test at 145,466 miles show gradual mileage progression without sudden spikes, implying steady usage rather than erratic driving patterns. This suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme wear, though older components may still require scrutiny. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical faults, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade over 14 years. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the records is reassuring, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the integrity of the exhaust system and body panels. The duplicate 2025 test entry warrants cross-checking with the DVSA database to ensure no unresolved defects were overlooked. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires in-person evaluation for definitive assessment.
