2018 Renault Megane 1.2L Petrol · L4 URG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass on April 18 2026 at 34,832 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving, as the recurring tyre-related issues noted in previous years have been addressed before the most recent inspection. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in resolving advisory items once they are flagged by the tester during the annual test. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Renault, averaging approximately 4,354 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered 9,696 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower intervals of under 2,000 miles seen in the years prior. While low annual mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, intermittent use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and brake systems if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment. The MOT records from 2021, 2024, and 2025 consistently flagged front tyres as worn on the inner edges or reaching the legal limit. This recurring pattern indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that has not been fully rectified. While the tyres have since been replaced, the underlying cause of the uneven wear should be verified to prevent premature failure of any new rubber. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, which often occurs on vehicles that are used infrequently. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the history, as no corrosion-related defects have been mentioned over the five-year period. The primary focus should remain on ensuring the front-end components are in good condition to justify the history of uneven tyre wear.
