2017 Renault Megane 1.2L Petrol · BK67 YBS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 54,331 miles resulted in a pass, it initially failed due to structural failure in the offside rear tyre and pitted front brake discs. This followed a significant failure in 2024 where multiple suspension and brake components were flagged. The trend suggests the owner tends to address faults only once they fail an inspection rather than performing scheduled maintenance. At 54,331 miles, the Renault has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a car of this age. Between October 2023 at 38,917 miles and October 2024 at 46,593 miles, the vehicle covered 7,676 miles, followed by 7,738 miles in the subsequent year. This consistent mileage accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, though the low annual mileage may contribute to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces from lack of use. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows excessively worn arm pins and bushes from late 2024. These components should be checked for further play or perished rubber to ensure steering stability. The braking system also shows a recurring pattern of pitted, scored, and thin discs across the last three tests. This indicates that the vehicle likely sits for long periods or uses low-quality brake fluid, leading to surface oxidation and scoring the rotors. The 2025 failure for a structural tear in the offside rear tyre necessitates a check that the replacement was fitted correctly and has not caused secondary damage to the wheel rim. Given the repeated issues with brake wear and suspension bushings, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the remaining life of the front discs. The mechanical history suggests a vehicle that is functional but requires a thorough inspection of wear-and-tear items before purchase.
