2009 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · EO59 BNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 145,218 miles passed with only a minor advisory for an adrift heat shield, previous records reveal a pattern of failing on basic safety items. The trend remains stable but suggests that the owner only addresses critical faults after an MOT failure occurs rather than performing preventative maintenance between annual intervals. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 145,218 miles represents an average usage of approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK domestic use patterns. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 13,216 miles driven between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,620 miles in the following seventeen months. This regular use suggests the vehicle is driven frequently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must scrutin closely to the front braking system and suspension. The September 2023 failure at 125,382 miles flagged the nearside front service brake as excessively fluctuating, which often indicates a warped rotor disc or a sticking caliper. Given the recurring issues with front tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2023 and 2024, an inspection should check for uneven tyre wear caused by worn suspension bushes or incorrect alignment geometry. Additionally, the report of a perished offside rear tyre in 2023 highlights that age-related rubber decay may be a factor regardless of tread depth.
