Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for upco
When inspecting this specific vehicle, focus heavily on the rear suspension setup. The most recent MOT record from May 2026 highlights corroded rear shock absorbers, and a previous failure in 2024 was due to a broken offside rear coil spring. You should check if these components have been replaced recently or if they are nearing the end of their functional life.
Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work related to the suspension or braking system. Given the 2023 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs, verify that the braking components are currently in good order. Because this is a diesel model with high mileage, also check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke which might indicate engine wear, though these are not explicitly noted in the MOT history.
As a 1461cc diesel, this Megane is designed for higher mileage efficiency. Fuel economy should be relatively competitive for a car of this age and type, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 1.5 dCi Megane are typically moderate, making it an affordable option for commuters. However, you should budget for more frequent maintenance of wear-and-tear items like shocks and springs, as the MOT history suggests these are recurring points of concern for this specific vehicle.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension. Specifically, look for signs of heavy corrosion on the shock absorbers, as flagged in the May 2026 MOT. Check the coil springs for any signs of surface rust or cracks, following the 2024 failure for a fractured offside rear spring.
Additionally, inspect the brake discs and pads. The 2023 MOT noted that both rear discs were pitted or scored. Ensure that the current discs are smooth and that the handbrake travel is within a normal range, as 'high handbrake travel' was an issue recorded in 2023. Finally, check that the undertray is securely fitted and not obstructing any necessary views of the vehicle's underside.
This 2013 silver Renault Megane 1.5 dCi has covered 122,776 miles since its first registration in June 2013. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in 2024 for a fractured coil spring and a recent advisory in May 2026 regarding corroded rear shock absorbers. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,669 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.7% MOT pass rate, with coil springs and brake pipes noted as common failure reasons.
