2021 Renault Megane 1.6L Hybrid electric · HX21 FVO

This 2021 Renault Megane has a very recent MOT pass from May 2026, but the history reveals a persistent and concerning pattern regarding tyre condition. The main risk pattern is a recurring failure or advisory for tyre degradation. Specifically, the vehicle has consistently shown signs of tyres cracking, perishing, or being damaged across multiple years. This has been a consistent issue from 2024 through to the most recent test in 2026. The vehicle's condition trend regarding rubber components is worsening. While the tyre damage was initially noted as minor cuts or perishing, the most recent MOT shows the offside front tyre has now worn close to the legal limit and is worn on the edge. This suggests that while the car is being maintained enough to pass, the owner is likely neglecting tyre replacement and potentially ignoring alignment issues. The mileage of 31,083 over five years is roughly 6,217 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This level of usage suggests the car is not heavily driven, but the recurring tyre perishing and cracking could imply the vehicle spends significant periods standing still, which causes rubber to degrade and dry rot. When inspecting this car, your priority should be checking the tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit or showing signs of sidewall cracking.
