2010 Renault Megane 2.0L Diesel · CV60 UBB

The Renault Megane passed its most recent MOT on 4 September 2023 at 123,195 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by immediate passes with no defects logged, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration. The odometer advanced from 99,858 miles at the July 2021 test to 111,439 miles by August 2022, then to 123,195 miles by September 2023. That equates to roughly 11,500 miles in the first year and 11,750 in the second, above the lifetime average of 7,700 miles per year. The two failed tests on 11 August 2022 and 1 September 2023 both showed identical mileages to the subsequent passes one or two days later, with no defects cited either time. Such clean failure-to-pass turnarounds with zero advisories suggest the car was presented without outstanding wear items, but the sparse history gives little insight into consumable replacement intervals. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, as a 16-year-old vehicle with 123,195 miles will likely show unseen corrosion or rubber degradation not captured in these minimal records. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes warrant close inspection for rust, given the vehicle's 2010 build date and outdoor UK exposure. Given the last test was nearly three years ago as of July 2026, the Megane requires a fresh MOT and a hands-on check before any purchase, since the absence of advisories does not confirm current condition.
