2009 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · ML09 VXE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history, despite its significant age. The most recent test conducted on 24 August 2022 at 161,944 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of the last inspection, the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards, and the vehicle has maintained a record of passing without failures over the previous four annual tests. The recorded mileage of 161,944 miles over 17 years averages to approximately 9,500 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this era. The data shows consistent intervals between 2019 and 2022, with the car covering roughly 18,400 miles in that three-year period. However, there is a significant gap in the official record starting after August 2022. Given the current date in June 2026, the vehicle is nearly four years overdue for a documented inspection, leaving the current mechanical state unknown and speculative. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Renault Meganes. While the history is clean, the lack of recent advisories regarding surface corrosion on the arches or worn suspension bushes does not mean these issues are not present now. Inspect for signs of brake caliper binding or uneven wear and perished rubber components, as the vehicle has not been professionally vetted since it was at 162,000 miles.
