2016 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · BL65 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-13 at 122,940 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, the pattern of frequent testing—two passes and two fails within 12 months—suggests inconsistent maintenance practices. The absence of recorded defects in all tests implies no critical failures, but the high mileage of 122,940 miles (12,294 annually) for a 10-year-old vehicle raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems. The mileage progression shows rapid accumulation: 94,426 miles in 2024, 104,475 in 2025, and 122,940 in 2026, reflecting an average of 18,465 miles in the final year. This sharp increase may indicate heavy usage or short intervals between MOTs, potentially exacerbating wear on drivetrain components and braking systems. The lack of structural corrosion or emission issues in the records is neutral, but the high mileage warrants scrutiny of mechanical integrity beyond the MOT’s scope. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, and assess exhaust system corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh conditions. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not preclude hidden issues, such as binding rear brakes or minor alignment faults, which may require a detailed pre-purchase inspection. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests a need for cautious evaluation of its mechanical state given the high usage rate.
