2019 Renault Megane 1.3L Petrol · BP69 NFD

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-15 confirmed the vehicle passed with minor tyre issues: the nearside front inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit and had a cut in the sidewall. This follows a failure just 24 hours earlier, where multiple critical issues were recorded, including front and rear brake pads below 1.5mm, a non-functional tyre pressure monitoring system, and severe tyre damage on both front and rear wheels. The rapid turnaround between failure and pass suggests urgent repairs were made, but the recurring nature of these problems raises concerns. A pattern of tyre-related defects dominates the history. Front inner tyres have consistently shown excessive wear, cuts, or damage since 2024, with the 2026-05-14 failure noting both front inner tyres worn close to the limit and a cut in the nearside tyre’s sidewall. This suggests potential alignment issues, improper inflation, or aggressive driving habits. The 2025 MOT also flagged cuts in front and rear tyres, while 2024 recorded cracking or perishing in front tyre treads. These recurring tyre problems indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Brake pad thickness was a significant issue in the 2026-05-14 failure, with both front and rear pads below the 1.5mm safety threshold. While the subsequent pass did not mention brakes, this highlights a risk of sudden brake failure if not addressed.
