2011 Renault Megane 1.4L Petrol · LP11 OOX

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent maintenance trend with several failures and recurring minor defects. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This follows a more problematic period in 2024, where the vehicle failed on a dangerous tyre defect involving exposed cords and a major failure regarding a non-working nearside front position lamp. The recorded mileage of 58,708 miles is low for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,914 miles per year. While the data shows a consistent testing pattern from 2020 through 2025, the low annual usage can sometimes correlate with periods of vehicle inactivity. The record shows no significant mileage jumps between the 2021 and 2025 tests, suggesting the vehicle has been used sparingly over the last four years. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking components. The 2021 test at an unspecified mileage flagged dangerous defects regarding seriously weakened rear brake discs and thin brake pads, alongside an advisory for light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. Although the 2024 test identified a damaged track rod end ball joint dust cover, the buyer must verify if this component or the shock absorbers have since been replaced or if the previous issues persist. The history also indicates recurring issues with lighting and visibility. The registration plate lamp was noted as inoperative in both the December 2022 and June 2025 tests, suggesting a persistent electrical or bulb issue. Additionally, the 2024 test highlighted a damaged nearside front mirror and a worn offside front tyre, so checking the current condition of all exterior glass, mirrors, and tyre tread depth is necessary. buying_score: 52 risk_level: Medium.
