2010 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · BN60 WUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 20 May 2026, but the mechanical history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test at 117,189 miles resolved a previous failure related to excessive play in both front track rod ends, the preceding records show a pattern of deferred suspension and steering repairs. The recurring nature of these components suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they trigger an MOT failure rather than identifying them during service intervals. The recorded mileage of 117,189 miles over 16 years reflects an average of approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK low-use patterns. However, there is a significant mileage gap between September 2023 (82,743 miles) and May 2025 (87,240 miles), representing only 4,500 miles covered in nearly twenty months. The subsequent burst of activity coincides with multiple mechanical failures, including a weakened wishbone and steering rack inner joint issues that required immediate attention. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to check for further structural degradation. The 2025 failure specifically highlighted corrosion on the offside front wishbone and a bent nearside suspension arm, indicating that rust is a developing issue on this chassis. The buyer should also inspect the steering rack for any remaining play, as the inner joints were previously flagged as a point of concern. Furthermore, the report of corrosion across all four brake discs in 2025 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which can lead to seized calipers or thinning brake material despite the relatively low annual mileage.
