2013 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · HN63 NPX

The Renault Megane presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent test on 8 February 2024 at 108,830 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows a recurring administrative pattern of same-day fail-and-pass pairs that warrants scrutiny rather than reassurance. The recorded mileage sat at 89,259 miles on 5 February 2022, rose to 101,832 miles by 27 January 2023, and reached 108,830 miles at the February 2024 tests. This equates to roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year across the recorded period, below the 8,372-mile annual average for a 2013 car, suggesting lighter-than-typical use. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three test years captured and no advisories or defects logged on any pass, so the clean sheet gives limited insight into wear on consumables or structural items. On 27 January 2023 the tester issued a fail at 101,832 miles with no defects listed, then passed the car later that same day. The identical scenario repeated on 7 to 8 February 2024 at 108,830 miles. Such entries typically reflect a documentation or system mismatch rather than a mechanical fault, but a buyer should confirm with the selling garage what triggered the failed statuses before assuming the record is fault-free. In person, the buyer should still commission a independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the car is now 13 years old. The MOT record flags no advisories on these components, yet the absence of noted wear across its life may simply mean the tester did not record minor items. Verify the timing belt and exhaust emissions history, as neither appears in the supplied data.
