2011 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · HV11 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the latest MOT on 2024‑11‑06 recorded a pass at 176,018 mi. The pass followed a fail on the same day, indicating that the identified defects—tyre wear, suspension ball‑joint dust‑cover deterioration, slight play in the offside front suspension arm and an inoperative engine MIL—were rectified. Compared with the multiple failures between 2020 and 2023, the recent record shows a marked improvement, with only minor advisories remaining. Mileage progression shows roughly 11,735 mi per year, a typical rate for a 15‑year‑old car. Tests are recorded annually from 2016 to 2024, though 2024‑11‑06 contains both a fail and a pass, suggesting a retest after repairs. The gap between the 2023‑11‑01 pass (162,888 mi) and the 2024‑11‑06 pass (176,018 mi) indicates about 13,130 mi of use over a year, consistent with normal wear. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension arm for ball‑joint play and the dust‑cover condition, check tyre tread depth on both nearside rear and offside front tyres, and verify that the engine MIL is functional. The rear coil spring should be examined for fracture, the parking‑brake efficiency tested, and brake‑pad thickness measured (the 2022 record noted pads below 1.5 mm). Shock‑absorber operation and anti‑roll‑bar linkage wear are also areas to assess, as repeated advisories point to ongoing suspension wear.
