2017 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · LB17 SYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test on 11 July 2026 at 67,851 miles passed, it flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the limit and play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. This suggests that while the car is kept in legal running order, components are often only being addressed once they reach a point of failure during an MOT inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between June 2020 at 12,229 miles and March 2022 at 24,469 miles, where the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. Since the 2022 test, mileage accumulation has increased steadily, covering over 43,000 miles in four years, which correlates with the increased frequency of wear-related failures in the later entries, particularly regarding brake components and wiper assemblies. A buyer should focus closely on the braking system and front suspension upon physical inspection. The record shows a recurring trend of thin brake pads and worn discs, culminating in a significant failure in July 2025 where the nearside rear pads were below 1.5mm and the disc was obviously worn. The recent report of play in the track rod end indicates that the front steering components are beginning to degrade and will require immediate attention to ensure safety. Additionally, the frequent mentions of tyres being worn on the edges across multiple years suggest a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
