2013 Renault Megane 1.6L Diesel · LR13 CZO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing suspension-related wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 76,841 miles passed successfully but introduced an advisory for a corroded offside rear coil spring. This follows a failure in March 2025 where the vehicle was rejected for a non-working lamp and worn front suspension arm bushes. While the car is consistently passing tests, the appearance of suspension defects suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life. At 76,841 miles over 13 years, this Megane shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears relatively consistent, with roughly 4,700 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,500 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the reported issues of worn bushes and spring corrosion noted in the record. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to ensure the worn bushes identified in 2025 have been replaced, as unresolved faults can compromise handling and cause uneven tyre wear. The flagged rear coil spring requires close scrutiny for deep structural corrosion or thinning that could lead to a sudden failure. Given the previous 2024 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear, the current condition and alignment of all tyres should be checked to confirm the geometry remains within specification and not prematurely consuming new rubber.
