2017 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · EN17 FAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred brake component replacement. The most recent test in August 2025 at 104,794 miles flagged the rear brake discs as pitted and scored, while the front discs showed significant wear. This follows a pattern of recurring brake-related advisories back to 2022 and 2023. While the car passes consistently, the data suggests the owner only addresses components when they approach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. Mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage with no unexplained gaps in testing, such as the 14,000 miles driven between the July 2021 and 2022 tests, or the 9,400-mile interval between the August 2024 and August 2025 inspections. This consistent mileage profile indicates the car has seen regular road use, which places standard stress on the suspension bushings, control arms, and drivetrain components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the discs have actually been replaced since the August 2025 advisory. The recurring nature of pitted and worn discs across multiple years suggests a high likelihood that calipers may be sticking or seizing, causing uneven wear. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, the inspection should also focus on the degradation of suspension rubber and the integrity of coil springs, as these components typically fail at this stage of a Megane's lifecycle.
