2012 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · JO08 DSL

The 2012 Renault Megane recorded a pass on 26 September 2025 at 104,456 miles, but advisories on tyre wear indicate ongoing wear; the maintenance trend has stabilised after a coil‑spring failure the previous year. No serious structural defects appear in the latest test, yet the repeated tyre‑edge wear suggests that alignment or suspension components have not been fully addressed. Mileage accumulation averages about 7,461 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 14‑year age and shows no abnormal gaps; the interval from the 2023 test at 78,629 miles to the 2024 failure at 92,993 miles spans roughly 14,364 miles, and the subsequent pass at 92,994 miles confirms that the repair was completed promptly. The 2024 failure occurred at 92,993 miles shortly after the previous test, indicating recent work and a quick turnaround to a clean record. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear coil spring for cracks or fractures, examine both rear and front brake discs for pitting or scoring beyond the recorded ‘not seriously weakened’ level, check the near‑side anti‑roll bar ball joint for play, and verify the condition of the front drive‑shaft joint; additionally, the tyre wear on the inner edges of all four wheels should be measured for tread depth and inspected for uneven wear that may point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes.
