2010 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · KP10 LWS

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 27 February 2026. While the record shows a generally stable history of passes, the most recent failure at 140,073 miles leaves the car without a valid certificate. The lack of recorded defects in the failure entries is atypical and suggests a possible administrative error or a failure on a non-mechanical requirement, such as expired insurance or a missed appointment. Mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in the last year. Between 19 February 2025 and 27 February 2026, the vehicle covered 22,402 miles. This is a sharp increase compared to the 15,735 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024. Such a spike in usage often leads to faster wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, particularly in a vehicle of this age. The absence of advisories across all tests since March 2023 is unusual for a sixteen year old Renault Megane. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as these are common failure points that may have been overlooked or simply not flagged. Given the recent high-mileage surge, a physical check of the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for uneven wear is necessary to ensure the car has been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirements. Verify the exact reason for the February 2026 failure before proceeding. The discrepancy between a failed status and no listed defects requires clarification to rule out serious structural issues or undisclosed mechanical faults.
