2022 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · MT71 TWV

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 shows the vehicle failed due to offside headlamp aim too low (a safety risk) and offside front outer tyre slightly damaged sidewall (a potential safety hazard). A separate passed MOT on the same day noted the same tyre damage, indicating the issue persisted despite prior attention. This suggests the tyre condition may not have been fully resolved or inspected thoroughly. Recurring mechanical patterns focus on tyre-related defects . Earlier, in 2025-01-07, both front tyres were worn close to legal limits and had nails . The 2025-12-09 MOT repeated the offside tyre damage, highlighting a consistent risk of tyre failure or reduced grip. The headlamp aim issue also reappeared, pointing to potential misalignment or component wear that may require adjustment or repair. The trend shows no clear worsening but highlights repeated tyre maintenance needs . The vehicle’s mileage (45,926 miles over 4 years) aligns with average usage (11,482 miles/year), suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged underuse. However, the tyre issues imply possible neglect, aggressive driving, or road conditions affecting tread life.
