2015 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · CA15 SWF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward component-related wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 56,620 miles flagged both the front and rear brake discs as being pitted or scored. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life, likely due to the vehicle's age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,150 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between June 2021 at 31,144 miles and July 2022 at 36,332 miles, followed by a more consistent usage pattern where the car covered roughly 20,000 miles between the 2022 and 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer should personally inspect the suspension and tyre alignment, as the recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2023 and 2024 suggest potential geometry issues or worn suspension bushes. The pitted condition of the brake discs noted in 2026 necessitates an immediate replacement of the discs and pads to ensure consistent stopping performance. Given the low mileage and high age, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is essential, as stationary vehicles are prone to surface oxidation that standard MOT tests may not fully capture.
