2013 Renault Megane 1.6L Diesel · LL13 AEJ

The Renault Megane presents a roadworthy status based on the most recent test, with the February 2022 examination at 124,028 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, though the record shows a peculiar pattern of same-day failures immediately followed by passes at identical or near-identical mileages, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical rectification. No worsening faults or recurring advisories emerge from the data. The odometer climbed from 81,774 miles at the November 2019 test to 98,724 miles by November 2020, then to 124,028 miles at the February 2022 test. That equates to roughly 16,900 miles in the first interval and 25,300 in the second, both above the lifetime average of 9,541 miles per year, indicating heavier use in the vehicle's later years. A gap of over three years then separates the last test from today's date in July 2026, leaving the current condition unverified by any recent examination. The DVSA entries flag no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns at any stage. The clean advisories list implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test or the car simply wore lightly for its age. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the thirteen-year age and the prolonged absence of any recorded testing since early 2022. Given the twin failure-pass pairs on 25 November 2020 at 98,723 and 98,724 miles and on 1 February 2022 at 124,027 and 124,028 miles, the buyer should obtain the associated failure reasons from DVSA archives, as the summary omits defect codes. Confirming those entries were paperwork anomalies rather than concealed mechanical faults remains the only outstanding due-diligence step before purchase.
