2011 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · LA11 UJB

The vehicle history shows a concerning pattern of recurring failures followed by successful re-tests within short intervals. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 121,782 miles, the car passed without any recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues were addressed. However, the presence of two failures in 2025 and 2026 at the exact same mileage of 121,782 suggests that the previous owner only performed repairs when mandated by an inspection failure rather than following a preventative schedule. At 121,782 miles over 15 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which sits well within the typical national average for a car of this age. The mileage gap between the 2024 test at 108,138 miles and the 2025 test at 115,764 miles shows consistent usage of roughly 7,600 miles. While the low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, the repeated failures indicate that specific components are reaching the end of their service life or deteriorating. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these are the most common areas of failure for this model at this age. Given the car failed twice at 121,782 miles, it is vital to check for worn bushes, leaking shock way, or corrosion on the brake lines. The history implies a reactive maintenance style, which often leaves minor structural rust or worn components that do not immediately trigger an MOT failure but require future investment.
