Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this specific vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the suspension system. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues with track rod ends and shock absorbers, which are common wear items on this model. Ensure that the recent advisories from January 2026 regarding the front brake pads and the nearside rear tyre have been addressed by the seller.
Negotiate based on the documented mechanical needs. Given the high mileage of 125,410, you should request evidence of a recent cambelt replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1461cc diesel engine. Check the service history to see if the frequent advisories for brake wear and tyre condition correlate with regular maintenance intervals.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Megane is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and providing decent fuel economy for long-distance driving. However, maintenance costs may be higher due to the frequency of suspension and braking component replacements seen in the MOT records.
Annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage. With a tax band typical for a 2015 diesel, you should budget for regular servicing and the potential replacement of suspension components like ball joints and dampers, which have appeared repeatedly in recent tests.
Focus heavily on the front end of the vehicle. The MOT history for 2025 and 2026 specifically highlights issues with track rod end ball joints and shock absorbers (including oil misting and reduced damping). Test the steering for any play or unusual noises, as the offside front suspension arm and track rod ends have been flagged previously.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The records show a recurring theme of thinning brake pads (noted in 2023, 2025, and 2026) and worn discs. Additionally, inspect the tyres for cracking or perishing, as this was an advisory in both 2023 and 2026. Finally, ensure all external lighting, specifically the rear stop lamps and registration plate lamps, are fully operational, as these caused failures in the 2025 test.
This 2015 blue Renault Megane 1.5 dCi has covered 125,410 miles since its first registration in September 2015. While it has a history of passing MOT tests, the 2025 record was particularly heavy with multiple failures and advisories related to shock absorbers, ball joints, and lighting. The vehicle is currently showing signs of wear in its braking system and steering components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with common failures related to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- 1.2 TCe oil consumptionSerious
The 1.2 TCe petrol (H5F) introduced with the 2012 facelift can consume excessive amounts of oil, which can lead to timing chain failure or total engine collapse if not monitored.
- EDC gearbox hesitation and shudderModerate
The dual-clutch EDC automatic can be jerky at low speeds or hesitate when pulling away, particularly if the clutch packs are worn or the software is outdated.
- Electronic parking-brake faultsModerate
The EPB module or rear caliper motors can fail, leaving the handbrake stuck on or generating warnings that become MOT concerns.
