Our Verdict
A recommended purchase provided you budg
The primary focus for a buyer should be the recurring advisories regarding the braking system and suspension. You should ask for evidence that the front and rear brake discs, as well as the front lower arm bushes, have been replaced since the March 2026 test. If these have not been addressed, they provide a clear opportunity to negotiate the purchase price to cover the cost of these parts.
Ensure you verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements, as the 1.5L diesel engine requires regular maintenance to remain efficient. Check that the tyres have been replaced since the 2025 MOT, which noted perished rear tyre walls and worn inner edges on the front.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering strong MPG for motorway and urban commuting. Tax and insurance will fall into standard brackets for a vehicle of this size and age, though you should check the specific insurance group for this trim level.
Maintenance costs are likely to be moderate, but the MOT history suggests a current need for suspension and brake work. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and the anticipated replacement of wear-and-tear components, the annual running cost is estimated to be around £1,300-£1,600.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history from February 2025 and March 2026 specifically mentions wear and splitting of the front lower arm bushes; a test drive should reveal any knocks or instability. Inspect the brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the 2022, 2025, and 2026 records to see if they have been refreshed.
Additionally, check the tyre tread and sidewall condition. The 2025 record highlighted perished rear tyre walls and inner edge wear on the front, which may indicate an alignment issue. Finally, check the headlamps and coil springs, as these are common failure points for the Megane model according to aggregate data.
This 2016 blue Renault Megane diesel has recorded 66,972 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. While it has passed all five recorded MOT tests, the most recent two tests show a growing list of advisories regarding suspension bushes and brake disc corrosion. It represents a fair value proposition for a buyer seeking a low-mileage diesel hatchback with a stable testing history.
The Renault Megane has an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with common failure points often relating to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
