2008 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · CX08 XMW

The Renault Megane presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2025-05-01 at 109,278 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 2025-04-30 at 109,275 miles that listed no defects, indicating the car was rejected on administrative or unrecorded grounds rather than a mechanical fault and cleared on resubmission. Across the five entries from March 2022 to May 2025 the vehicle carried no advisories or defects, showing consistent test outcomes under official inspection. The odometer climbed from 89,539 miles in March 2022 to 109,278 miles by May 2025, an average of roughly 6,600 miles per year that sits close to the 6,071-mile norm for an 18-year-old car. Gaps between tests are narrow, with the longest stretch being the 14-month gap from March 2023 to May 2024 adding only 6,385 miles. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of hard use or neglected consumables, though the lack of advisories means worn items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion were either absent or below the reporting threshold at each visit. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no flagged rust but a car of this age and mileage commonly develops hidden sill or subframe decay. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emissions issues, yet brake component wear and tyre condition must be verified hands-on given the 109k mileage. Given the unexplained fail-pass sequence in late April 2025, confirm with the seller what triggered the rejection and retain any paperwork proving the rectification.
