2021 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · ML71 KRZ

The 2021 Renault Megane holds a current MOT that was issued on 12 January 2026 at 67,123 miles, making the certificate just over five months old and still well within its twelve-month validity. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with the vehicle passing cleanly in both October 2024 and January 2025 before picking up a minor advisory in its most recent test. That advisory concerned the offside front tyre, which the tester recorded as worn close to the legal limit at 3mm and wearing on the edges. This is a consumable item and not a structural or mechanical defect, but it does indicate that the front tyres are approaching replacement and that alignment or suspension geometry may warrant closer inspection to rule out uneven wear patterns. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2024 test at 59,980 miles and the January 2026 test at 67,123 miles, the car covered 7,143 miles in approximately fifteen months, which is consistent with the overall annualised average of roughly 13,425 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the three tests on file provide a reasonably consistent picture of a vehicle in regular use. The high annual mileage means that wear items such as brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, and tyres will have experienced above-average use compared with a typical five-year-old Megane. A buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the front tyres and the wheel alignment, given the advisory for edge wear on the offside front. Uneven tyre wear can point to worn suspension bushes, a misaligned tracking setup, or a binding front brake caliper, all of which are common on higher-mileage vehicles. It would also be prudent to inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as high-mileage use can accelerate deterioration in these areas. The rear brakes and remaining tyre tread depths should be checked as well, since the MOT record only flags the front offside tyre and does not comment on the condition of the other three corners. Overall, the record suggests a mechanically sound vehicle with no serious defects, but the high mileage and the tyre advisory mean a thorough pre-purchase inspection is advisable.
