2017 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · DV17 OFO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-28 recorded a pass, but it had previously failed on the same date due to front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick and worn, pitted brake discs. This indicates a maintenance trend that has not improved since the 2024 test, where thin brake pads and nearside rear brake wear were noted. The 2023 tests showed minor tyre issues and a headlamp failure, which were resolved by 2024. Overall, the roadworthiness status is compromised by recurring brake and tyre concerns, suggesting inconsistent upkeep rather than a clear improvement. The vehicle has accumulated 65,995 miles over nine years, averaging roughly 7,333 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—over 13,000 miles in one year—raises questions about how frequently the vehicle was driven or maintained. The 2024 test at 52,100 miles flagged tyre wear and brake pad thinning, while the 2025 test at 65,995 miles showed similar brake disc issues. These patterns suggest that mechanical components may have been neglected during periods of higher mileage. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly, focusing on pad thickness, disc condition, and caliper function. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings should also be checked for wear, as these can be affected by uneven tyre wear and prolonged use. Structural integrity and corrosion should be assessed, particularly around the chassis and underbody, given the history of tyre and brake issues. The presence of mismatched tyres in 2023 highlights potential long-term neglect, which could impact handling and safety.
