Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a worsening trend in mechanical defects, culminating in a failure during the February 2026 test. While the most recent entry on 18 February 2026 shows a pass, this followed a failure on the same day for multiple major issues. The tester recorded a failed offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and significant exhaust issues, specifically a silencer blowing that prevented the completion of emissions testing. The 2026 failure also included advisories for both front tyres being worn close to or below the legal limit. The recorded mileage of 65,764 miles over a seven-year period averages approximately 9,395 miles per year. This usage pattern appears consistent with typical UK driving for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provide annual data points from February 2023 through February 2026, showing no significant gaps in testing frequency. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust. The records indicate a recurring pattern of brake disc deterioration, with advisories for pitted or scored discs on both the front and rear in February 2023 and February 2025. The February 2025 test also flagged a binding nearside rear service brake. Given the recent failure regarding the exhaust silencer and the anti-roll bar drop link, the integrity of the exhaust system and the condition of the front suspension components require immediate verification. The recent advisories regarding tyre tread depth in February 2026 suggest that consumable maintenance has been deferred. The presence of both structural component failures, such as the anti-roll bar linkage, and emissions-related failures indicates that the vehicle has recently required mechanical attention to meet roadworthiness standards. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.

Our Verdict

This Renault Megane is a solid option for buyers seeking a relatively recent petrol hatchback with a clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the lack of recorded defects in recent tests is a positive indicator.

When inspecting this specific 1.3L petrol variant, ensure you check the service history to see how the engine has been maintained, as MOT records only reflect roadworthiness at the time of testing. Given the mileage is above the model average, pay close attention to the wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads.

Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has covered significantly more ground than the average Megane in this dataset. Ask the seller for evidence of recent servicing to complement the clean MOT results.

The 1330cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for a variety of drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a family hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.

Annual running costs will be influenced by the higher-than-average mileage, which may lead to more frequent maintenance intervals for components like suspension and brakes. Expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage level.

Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, you should be aware of common failure points for the Renault Megane model, which include headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes. Check the headlight alignment and the condition of the suspension components during your inspection.

Specifically for this car, inspect the brake system and any visible pipework, as these are noted as top failure reasons across the wider model aggregate data. Ensure the blue paintwork is free of significant chips that could lead to corrosion, though this is not a recorded issue for this specific registration.

Registered in March 2019, this blue 1.3L petrol Megane has covered 65,764 miles over its seven-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent test in February 2026 recording no defects. Compared to the aggregate model data for this vehicle type, the annual mileage is higher than the 6,657 average.

Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 71.8%, with common issues relating to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
