Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this Megane, pay close attention to the braking system. The 2022 MOT noted pitted or scored front brake discs, so you should check if these have been replaced recently or if they show signs of continued deterioration. Additionally, verify that all exterior lighting, specifically the offside rear position lamp mentioned in the previous record, is fully operational.
Given the high mileage relative to the annual average, request evidence of a consistent service history to ensure the 1598cc diesel engine has been maintained. Check the condition of the tyres across all four corners, as the 2022 record highlighted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Megane is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and a relatively low tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a car of this age and type, making it suitable for motorway driving.
Maintenance costs will be influenced by its mileage; expect more frequent replacements of consumables like brake pads, discs, and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and suspension. The 2022 MOT specifically flagged worn or pitted front brake discs, so inspect the discs for uneven wear or heavy scoring. You should also check the tyres for even wear, following the advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre.
Additionally, look for common Renault Megane issues such as coil spring wear or headlamp failures, which are noted as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data. Ensure all light clusters are intact and functioning to avoid the issues seen in the 2022 test.
This silver 2013 Renault Megane 1.6 dCi is a diesel model with 104,129 miles recorded at its last MOT in December 2022. The vehicle has seen significantly higher usage than the model average of 6,669 miles per year, reflecting its likely role as a long-distance commuter. The MOT history shows one pass with no defects in 2021, followed by a pass in 2022 that included advisories for brake discs, a tyre, and a rear position lamp.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
