2009 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · EO59 FCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 at 134,763 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects indicates that any identified issues were rectified promptly. The overall maintenance trend over the last three years suggests the car is maintained to a functional standard, as no recurring mechanical or structural failures appear across consecutive tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 24,803 miles covered between December 2023 (87,450 miles) and December 2024 (112,243 miles), followed by another 22,520 miles in the months leading to the January 2026 test. This indicates regular, consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps keep seals lubricated and prevents corrosion associated with long-term inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and underbody, as vehicles of this age and mileage are prone to rubber degradation and structural corrosion. Although the MOT record is clean of advisories, the previous failures in 2023 and 2026 suggest that components may require frequent attention as they reach the end of life. Inspect the bushes and control arms for wear and check the condition of the brake lines and discs to ensure no leaks or pitting has developed despite the clean pass history.
