2021 Renault Megane RS Line TCE 1.3L Petrol · HT70 NBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline regarding tyre condition. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 17,101 miles passed, it flagged both front tyres as being worn to the legal limit and exhibiting sidewall perishing and cracking. This follows an advisory from January 2025 at 13,587 miles regarding the nearside front inner tyre. The recurring nature of these faults suggests a lack of attention to basic consumable maintenance despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,420 miles per annum. Between the January 2024 test at 10,668 miles and the January 2025 test at 13,587 miles, the car covered only 2,919 miles. This low-use pattern often leads to degradation of rubber components as the vehicle sits for extended periods, which explains the sidewall perishing and cracking noted in the 2026 record. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the consistent wear on the edges of the front tyres indicates potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should also check for flat spots or cracks across all tyres due to age-related degradation despite tread depth. Given the low mileage, the brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion or seizing to ensure no neglect has occurred due to long periods of inactivity.
