2011 Renault Megane 1.9L Diesel · JG02 CAL

The Renault Megane presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 98,435 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its last three successful examinations without advisories. Two failed tests appear in the record, yet neither listed any defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 98,435 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 6,562 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The car covered 3,607 miles between the January 2024 pass at 90,232 and the January 2025 entry at 93,839, then added 4,596 miles to the January 2026 pass. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident from the figures. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the available history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear record. The repeated no-defect failures on 21 January 2025 and 26 January 2026 suggest the vehicle may have been presented without required documentation or with minor non-mechanical discrepancies, so verify V5C and test certificates. Given the car is fifteen years old, examine structural integrity for underbody rust and check coil springs and brake calipers for age-related fatigue not captured in the MOT entries. The absence of advisories across three years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though low annual mileage can mask degraded rubber components. Inspect tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for perishing, and confirm the clutch and drivetrain show no undue wear before purchase.
