Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of over 154,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the steering and suspension systems. The most recent MOT advisory in January 2026 noted play in the offside track rod end and the steering rack inner joints; you should verify if these issues have been rectified since the test.
Negotiate based on the potential upcoming costs for steering and suspension repairs. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work involving the steering rack or ball joints. Additionally, check the service history for evidence of timing belt (cambelt) changes, which is a critical maintenance item for this 1.6L diesel engine at this mileage.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Megane is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on maintenance and driving style. You should expect moderate fuel costs suitable for long-distance commuting.
Insurance groups for this model vary, but the 1.6L engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs may be higher than average for a vehicle of this age due to the high mileage, specifically regarding wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components which have appeared in previous MOT records.
Specifically inspect the steering system. The 2026 MOT record highlights play in the track rod end and the steering rack inner joints, which can affect handling and safety. A test drive is essential to check for any knocking sounds or wandering steering.
Check the condition of the tyres and brakes. Previous MOTs in 2022 and 2025 recorded worn tyres and pitted brake discs. Finally, inspect the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the coil springs, as this was a recorded issue in the 2022 MOT.
This 2013 blue Renault Megane 1.6 dCi has covered 154,884 miles as of January 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,669 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear, including recent advisories regarding the track rod end and steering rack inner joints. While it has passed its last five tests, the mileage and recorded component wear necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
