Our Verdict
A reasonable option for buyers seeking a
Focus on the service history to verify regular oil changes for the 1.5L diesel engine, which is critical for long-term reliability. Check for evidence of the repairs mentioned in the 2025 and 2026 MOTs, particularly the replacement of the nearside rear coil spring and the offside front track rod end.
Negotiate the price based on the age of the tyres, as two were noted as worn or below legal limits in early 2025. Ensure that the registration plate lighting issues, which have appeared in two consecutive years, have been permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
The 1461cc diesel engine typically offers competitive fuel economy, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers. Road tax for a 2012 model will depend on its specific CO2 emissions band, and insurance groups for the Megane are generally moderate.
Annual maintenance costs may be influenced by the age of the vehicle, with a particular eye on suspension components and lighting. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the suspension, specifically the rear coil springs; a fracture was recorded in March 2026, and this is a known failure point for this model according to aggregate data. Inspect the lighting system and the rear registration plate lamps, which have caused failures in two consecutive years.
Additionally, check the operation of the central rear seat belt buckle and the effectiveness of the offside front windscreen wiper, both of which were flagged as failures in March 2025. Verify that the headlamp aim has been corrected as per the 2025 MOT requirements.
This 2012 grey Renault Megane has recorded 80,065 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, specifically involving lighting, tyres, and a fractured rear coil spring. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026, the pattern of failures suggests a need for diligent inspection.
The Megane has an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with common failures frequently linked to headlamps and coil springs.
