MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

21 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Renault Megane (MK58 VSL) between January 2012 and April 2024.

The record contains 14 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 12 April 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Windscreen (12 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 32 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Steering rack has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) (2.3 (a) (i))”; “Brake fluid contaminated (1.8 (a))”; “Offside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))”.
