2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · LR62 PKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in February 2026 at 89,921 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect. While the car failed a test in October 2023 due to significant brake wear, subsequent passes in 2025 and 2026 indicate that these mechanical issues were addressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable four-year data gap between the October 2019 and October 2023 tests, during which the car covered only 3,685 miles. This low annual usage suggests long periods of standing, which often correlates with the surface corrosion and pitting noted on brake components. Since the 2023 failure, the vehicle has covered 15,649 miles in three years, indicating a more regular and modern usage pattern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system components, as pitting and scoring of the discs appeared as a recurring fault across 2019, 2023, and 2025. Although the recent test passed without issue, the history of worn discs suggests the calipers may be prone to moisture-induced corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous periods of inactivity, a thorough check of the suspension rubber bushes and brake hoses is essential, as these components often degrade over time rather than through mileage alone.
