2008 Renault Megane 1.9L Diesel · FL08 AXY

The Renault Megane presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 113,936 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 20 July 2023 examination at 109,269 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the available history, and the current record suggests consistent mechanical condition for an eighteen year old car. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,330 miles against the 113,936 total, which is typical for a 2008 hatchback and implies light to moderate use. The gap between the July 2023 pass at 109,269 miles and the August 2025 pass at 113,936 miles shows only 4,667 miles covered in just over two years, indicating the car spent extended periods stationary. Records are sparse with just five entries, yet all post 2022 show clean outcomes aside from two early fails. The failed tests on 15 July 2022 at 102,079 miles and 17 July 2023 at 109,263 miles carry no recorded defects, pointing to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, though the immediate re tests three and five days later passed. A buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear in person given the vehicle's age and low recent use, as standing time accelerates corrosion on structural members and seizes calipers. Given the clean advisories and passes from 2023 onward, previous owners appear to have addressed basic upkeep before each annual test. Inspect underneath for rust on subframes and check tyre sidewalls for perishing from lack of movement, but the DVSA data alone reveals no outstanding mechanical risks.
