2019 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · ME19 OTH

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 showed a mixed result: the vehicle passed with a minor tyre cut but failed due to multiple serious issues. These included dangerously thin rear brake pads, worn anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, and excessive wear on the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This failure indicates a significant risk to braking performance and suspension integrity. A recurring mechanical pattern is evident in the MOT history. The 2025-05-22 MOT noted that rear brake pads were wearing thin on both sides, and the 2026-05-22 MOT confirmed this with a failure due to brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick. This shows a worsening trend in brake pad wear, suggesting that the braking system is deteriorating and may require urgent attention. The vehicle has high mileage for its age, with approximately 17,600 miles per year over seven years. This suggests heavy use or frequent driving, which can lead to increased wear on components such as brakes, suspension, and tyres. High mileage may also indicate that the vehicle has been driven aggressively or over long distances, increasing the likelihood of mechanical fatigue and component failure. The MOT history is not clean.
