2015 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · HT15 VNA

The 2015 Renault Megane currently holds a valid MOT certificate dated 17 October 2025 at 70,113 miles. The overall maintenance trend is mixed. A fractured Nearside Front coil spring identified during the failed test on 15 October 2025 at 70,107 miles was rectified before the pass two days later, indicating the previous owner addressed a critical structural failure promptly. However, both front wheel bearings have shown slight play consistently since October 2024, and this advisory remains unresolved. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection, the recurrence of front-end wear points to a pattern of deferred minor repairs rather than proactive servicing. The mileage pattern is broadly typical for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,374 miles annually. Between the November 2023 pass at 62,734 miles and the October 2025 test at 70,113 miles, the car covered 7,379 miles over approximately 23 months, which is a steady but slightly below-average accumulation rate. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data, suggesting consistent but light use. The MOT record is reasonably complete for recent years, with no extended periods of untaxed or untested absence evident from the supplied entries. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The fractured coil spring from October 2025 raises a question about the condition of the remaining springs and dampers, particularly if the car has been driven on uneven roads or over speed bumps at pace. Both front wheel bearings remain a live concern. Slight play noted in 2024 and again in 2025 suggests early-stage wear that will eventually require replacement to avoid noise, vibration, or catastrophic hub failure. The Offside Front track rod end ball joint failure from November 2023 was fixed, but the steering rack and inner tie rods should be checked for corresponding wear. Brake components and exhaust emissions received no recent advisories, which is a positive sign, though a test drive over varied surfaces is advisable to confirm there are no new knocks, clunks, or uneven tyre wear that would indicate unresolved suspension geometry issues.
