2022 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · MT71 TZX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 26 May 2026 at 88,302 miles. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to the failures seen in early 2026. While the car previously struggled with electronic faults and basic fluid issues, the most recent tests in February and May 2026 indicate that the immediate defects have been addressed and the vehicle is currently operating without recorded mechanical or electrical failures. The mileage profile is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 22,000 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use, which typically results in less suspension wear but accelerates the degradation of consumables and drivetrain components. The frequency of tests in early 2026 reflects an owner actively attempting to rectify compliance issues after multiple consecutive failures. A buyer should rigorously inspect the electronic systems, as the January 2026 failure flagged multiple warning lights including the electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring, and exhaust warning lamps. These faults often point to sensor failures or software glitches that can recur if not properly diagnosed. The 2025 record also highlighted thin rear brake pads, pitted discs, and uneven tyre wear. While these were likely replaced, the high mileage justifies a thorough check of the remaining brake components and suspension bushings to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
