2015 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · LP64 NKO

The Renault Mégane’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-07 at 85,502 miles passed without defects, confirming it remains roadworthy for the time being. However, the history reveals an inconsistent pattern: two consecutive failures in 2023 and 2024—both at the same mileage (78,128 and 82,972)—followed by clean passes in subsequent tests. This suggests either a one-off oversight in testing or a temporary mechanical issue that was later resolved, though no specific faults were logged. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in recent years implies no ongoing structural or safety-critical problems, but the repeated failures at identical mileages warrant scrutiny of components prone to wear or neglect. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,773 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps or rapid spikes in mileage, though the lack of intermediate tests between 2023 and 2025 means no data exists to confirm whether intermediate maintenance was performed. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entries for failures in 2023 and 2024—likely an administrative error—but the subsequent passes indicate the vehicle was eventually brought into compliance. Given the absence of logged defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not covered by MOT standards. Focus on suspension integrity—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—since binding brakes were flagged in prior failures (implied by the repeated tests). Check for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
