2017 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · LC17 ABF

The 2017 Renault Megane demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 121,569 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over four consecutive annual tests since 2022, with no recurring issues or advisories. The 2022 failure on the same date as a passing test appears anomalous, but no defects were logged, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved before retesting. Overall, the maintenance history reflects responsible upkeep without significant mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 121,569 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 13,508 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in data exist between 2022 and 2023, where mileage rose from 70,771 to 88,558 miles—a 17,787-mile increase in 12 months. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in subsequent tests. The absence of defects in all recorded MOTs indicates the owner prioritized regular servicing, but high mileage necessitates closer scrutiny of suspension and drivetrain components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are prone to wear under heavy use. The lack of corrosion or structural advisories is positive, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant inspection of exhaust emissions and binding calipers. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the high annual mileage suggests potential hidden wear in non-safety-critical systems. A pre-purchase check should focus on these areas to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond recorded data.
