Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the exceptio
Given the mileage is nearly triple the model average, the primary focus should be on the service history. Specifically, verify when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this diesel engine. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil changes to support the high mileage recorded.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the high mileage and the likely need for upcoming wear-and-tear replacements. Check that the seat belt buckle issues and anti-roll bar linkage play noted in 2021 were formally addressed, as these are indicators of the vehicle's general wear level.
The 1.46L diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance commuting. However, at 167,874 miles, fuel economy may be impacted by engine wear or DPF efficiency. Tax and insurance will be standard for this engine size and age, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average.
Expect higher annual spending on consumables such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost accounts for these increased maintenance requirements alongside fuel and VED.
Closely inspect the suspension and steering components; the 2021 MOT specifically recorded play in both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. Check the exterior lighting and reflectors, as the 2024 MOT highlighted a defective nearside rear reflector and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp.
Additionally, check for corrosion on brake pipes and the condition of the coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the Megane across aggregate data. Inspect the interior for general wear consistent with the high mileage, particularly the seat belt buckles mentioned in previous records.
This 2016 Grey Renault Megane diesel has a recorded mileage of 167,874 miles as of September 2024, which is substantially higher than the model average. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes, although the 2021 test included several advisories regarding suspension and interior fittings. It is a high-mileage example of a model with a general MOT pass rate of 71.8%.
The Megane has a 71.8% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
