2017 Renault Megane 1.6L Diesel · HT17 MBY

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 showed the 2017 Renault Megane passed with several minor issues. The rear brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened, and the offside rear wheel bearing had slight play. The rear service brake bound slightly, and the offside rear brake pipe was corroded and covered in grease. These findings suggest ongoing wear in braking components and potential corrosion, though none were classified as serious defects. A recurring pattern of brake disc wear and service brake binding appears in the history. The 2024-02-20 MOT included a failed test due to excessive brake binding and brake lag, but subsequent passes in 2025 and 2026 show improvements, though not complete resolution. The offside rear brake disc was noted in multiple MOTs, indicating persistent wear. The offside rear wheel bearing’s slight play in 2026 also suggests ongoing mechanical degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 69,921 miles over 9 years equates to roughly 7,769 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests average usage rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity.
