2017 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · MX67 WMZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile currently, with the most recent MOT in April 2025 at 98,388 miles passing with no defects. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, the failure in April 2024 at 91,076 miles reveals a period of reactive maintenance. The tester flagged the offside front suspension arm ball joint, both front tyres for insufficient tread depth, and a failed headlight. The immediate pass following these repairs suggests that the current owner is willing to rectify essential safety failures once they are identified. At 98,388 miles over nine years, the Megane averages approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family hatchback. The record shows a consistent usage pattern between 2020 and 2023, though the vehicle covered over 42,000 miles in the eighteen-month gap between August 2023 and April 2025. This higher-intensity period often accelerates wear on components such as suspension bushes and braking hardware, which correlates with the various failures noted between 2021 and 2024. Structural attention is required regarding the nearside outer sill, which was flagged as damaged in August 2021 at 77,567 miles. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, sill damage necessitates a close physical inspection for hidden corrosion or poor quality repairs over time. The 2021 failure also highlighted pitted brake discs and a binding nearside rear service brake. Given the history of worn suspension pins and deteriorated wishbone bushes, a buyer should verify the current condition of the front-end geometry to ensure these mechanical issues are not recurring at the higher mileage.
