2012 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · DG62 SYU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on February 7, 2026, with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of instability regarding annual testing compliance. The car failed its inspections in both February 2024 and February 2025, only to pass upon retest in both instances. This cycle suggests that mechanical or safety issues are only addressed after a failure occurs rather than being managed through preventative maintenance prior to the test. At 131,357 miles over 14 years, the Megane has averaged approximately 9,383 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle of this age. The record does not provide specific mileage figures for each annual test, making it impossible to determine the exact rate of accumulation between the intervals. The gap between the most recent tests is consistent at roughly one year, indicating a regular schedule of testing despite the intermittent failures in previous years. A buyer must investigate the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided data does not detail the nature of those defects. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and subframe which is common on this model. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and brake calipers for excessive wear, as these are frequent points of failure on Renault vehicles in this mileage bracket. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
