Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a low-mileage petrol hatchback. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of clean passes without recorded defects.
Given the low mileage of this 1.3L petrol model, you should verify that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from neglected maintenance. Check the service book for evidence of oil changes and inspections consistent with the mileage recorded.
When inspecting this specific black Megane, pay close attention to the condition of the exterior trim and any potential stone chips, which are common on lower-slung hatchbacks. Since the MOT history shows no recent defects, focus your negotiation on the documented service history rather than mechanical failures, as the MOT data does not provide insight into the vehicle's overall maintenance standard.
The 1330cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement variants of the Megane. Expect competitive fuel economy suitable for both urban and motorway driving.
Typical maintenance for this model involves standard consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wipers. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for routine servicing, are estimated to be moderate for a vehicle of this class.
While this vehicle has had clean passes since early 2023, you should remain mindful of common Renault Megane failure points identified in aggregate data, such as headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes. Even though none were recorded on this specific registration, they are statistically significant for this model.
Specifically, check the operation of the headlamp units and listen for any suspension knocks when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate coil spring wear. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on the brake lines, as this is a known top failure reason for the model across the wider dataset.
This 2019 Renault Megane (BD19RVU) presents with 36,688 miles on the clock, which is relatively low for a seven-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent pass in December 2025 showing no defects. While there was a failure recorded in February 2023 at 21,732 miles, the subsequent three tests have been completed without any recorded issues or advisories.
Aggregate data for the Renault Megane shows an average MOT pass rate of 71.8%, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
