2010 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · HV60 ACO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on September 12 2025 with 116,527 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement following a period of intermittent failures. While the car failed tests in both 2023 and 2024, the transition to clean passes in the two most recent inspections indicates that the previous owner addressed identified issues and subsequently maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered roughly 4,800 miles, representing steady but low-intensity usage. The failure in September 2024 occurred at 110,634 miles, followed by a pass just four days later at 110,639 miles, suggesting a minor component failure that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical collapse. The interval of 5,888 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests confirms a predictable annual usage schedule. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these are common points of failure on Meganes of this age. Although the record does not specify the exact reasons for the 2023 and 2024 failures, the proximity of these tests often points to worn bushes, ball arms, or brake components. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe is necessary to ensure that the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound despite the recent clean MOT results.
