2009 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · CV59 XAC

The vehicle has been tested in the September 2023 test at 37,934 miles, marking the most recent official data point. The MOT record indicates that the vehicle has passed all tests, including the 2025-10-30 test at 40,160 miles, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend. However, the data reveals specific recurring faults that warrant careful inspection: the rear brake hose exhibits slight corrosion to the ferrule, and the front brake disc shows pitting or scoring without structural weakness. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness in recent years, the presence of these specific corrosion issues indicates a potential need for routine checking. The mileage profile shows a significant gap between the 2023-10-24 test at 37,934 miles and the 2025-10-30 test at 40,160 miles, with no intermediate test dates recorded. This sparse record suggests that the vehicle may have been stored for a long period or experienced infrequent testing, which could lead to accelerated wear on suspension components and brake discs. The consistent lack of defects in the 2022-11-01 and 2021-10-27 tests indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to the same level of mechanical stress as the 2025-10-30 test, implying that the wear patterns observed in the 2023-10-24 test are likely cumulative rather than isolated incidents. Given the recurring faults of corrosion on the brake hoses and discs, and the lack of a clear trend for suspension bushings or coil springs, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of these components. The 2025-10-30 test flagged the front shock absorber casing as having slight external damage, which may require immediate attention to prevent further corrosion or failure. Additionally, the 2023-10-24 test identified a corroded rear coil spring, a serious structural risk that must be checked before purchase. If the buyer is not prepared for a full inspection, the vehicle should be considered to have a significant risk of structural integrity issues and should be evaluated against the DVSA's current roadworthiness standards.
