Our Verdict
This 2016 Renault Mégane offers solid value with a clean recent MOT and low mileage for its age, though minor past issues warrant cautious inspection.
Focus on inspecting the front brake discs (noted in 2025) and tyre wear (repeatedly flagged in 2022-2023). Check for a full service history to confirm regular maintenance. Negotiate slightly if the seller hasn't addressed past minor issues, but the clean 2026 MOT reduces concerns. Verify the 1.461cc diesel engine's condition, as these can develop turbo or DPF problems over time.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.461cc engine is moderate, averaging ~40-45 mpg. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually (standard rate for diesel cars registered before 2017). Insurance groups for this model typically range from 18-22, resulting in average premiums. Maintenance costs are reasonable, though brake disc replacements and tyre changes may arise. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Inspect the front brake discs for warping or excessive wear, as these were flagged in 2025. Check all tyres for uneven wear, especially nearside front tyres mentioned in multiple MOTs. Verify that the offside rear position lamp and windscreen chip (from 2022) have been repaired. Test the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and turbocharger for signs of failure, common in older diesels. Confirm the vehicle isn't due for a major service soon.
The vehicle has a mostly clean MOT history, with only minor defects recorded in earlier years. At 100,548 miles, its mileage is below average for a 10-year-old diesel car. While no model-wide reliability data is available, the recent MOT pass suggests good maintenance.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Renault Mégane, but this vehicle shows no major reliability red flags beyond minor, repairable issues.
