Our Verdict
Caution is strongly advised. While the l
The primary concern for a buyer is the lack of MOT records for nearly three years. You must establish why the vehicle has not been tested and ensure a fresh MOT is passed before any funds are exchanged. Request full service records to see if the vehicle was maintained during this period of missing MOT data.
Negotiate the price based on the fact that the vehicle is currently not road-legal. Be wary of any 'hidden' faults that may have developed while the car was out of the testing cycle, and verify that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has not become blocked if the car has been stationary for long periods.
The 1598cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering competitive fuel economy for long-distance driving. Tax and insurance will be based on its 2013 registration and engine size, though diesel vehicles of this age may face higher charges in certain low-emission zones.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the need for 'catch-up' servicing and repairs following the three-year gap in MOT history. Expect typical wear-and-tear costs for a 13-year-old diesel.
Prioritise an inspection of the brake pipes and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across aggregate data. Check the headlamps for any clouding or electrical faults, which are also common failure points for the Megane.
Given the gap in MOT history, specifically inspect the tyres for perishing or flat spots and check the battery health. A physical inspection of the underbody is recommended to ensure no significant corrosion has occurred during the period the vehicle was not being tested.
This 2013 blue Renault Megane diesel has a recorded mileage of 73,751 miles as of August 2023. The available MOT history shows two consecutive passes without defects in 2022 and 2023. However, there is a critical gap in the testing record between August 2023 and the current date in September 2026.
The Renault Megane has an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with frequent failures linked to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
