2018 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · BD68 UAT

The vehicle has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting it has been used regularly without excessive wear or long periods of standing. The most recent MOT in November 2025 was a pass, but it carries a warning that the rear brake pads are wearing thin. There is a concerning pattern of neglected maintenance regarding advisory notices. The rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in November 2024 and the same issue reappeared in November 2025. This indicates the owner has ignored this safety warning for over a year without replacing the pads. The overall condition trend appears stable but reactive. In addition to the brakes, the 2024 MOT noted slight play in both the nearside and offside rear wheel bearings, and there has been a recurring issue with front tyres wearing close to the legal limit in both 2022 and 2024. Because the history shows a tendency to leave advisory items unaddressed, you should assume other wear-and-tear components may also be overdue for replacement. When inspecting the car, your first priority should be to check the remaining thickness of the rear brake pads. You should also listen for humming or droning noises from the rear of the vehicle to see if the wheel bearing play noted in 2024 has worsened.
