2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · LM12 LOJ

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT at 45,134 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Renault Mégane remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, non‑declining condition. Earlier tests in February 2025, 2024 and 2023 also passed without recorded defects, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 3,200 miles per year since its 2012 manufacture, a rate well below the typical 7,000‑8,000 miles per annum for a 14‑year‑old car, suggesting limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between tests are modest – 3,582 miles from February 2023 to February 2024, 3,300 miles from February 2024 to February 2025, and 2,871 miles from February 2025 to the latest test – with no abrupt surges that would indicate heavy use or neglect. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that age independently of mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, brake discs and calipers for scoring or seizing, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Structural integrity should be examined for corrosion around the wheel arches, sills and chassis rails, while tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit verification, as low mileage can mask uneven wear.
