Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This 2010 diesel M
Focus on the service history to confirm if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this diesel engine. Request invoices for the repairs carried out in March 2023 to verify the quality of the track rod ends and ball joints installed. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for underbody corrosion is recommended.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. Insurance groups for the Megane are typically moderate, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its era. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and total mileage.
Carefully inspect the front brakes and suspension, as the March 2023 MOT failure specifically noted worn, pitted brake discs and play in the suspension arm ball joint and track rod end. Check the condition of the coil springs and headlamps, which are identified as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data. Additionally, test the parking brake, as its efficiency was noted as slightly low during the last test.
This grey 1.46L diesel Megane has covered 114,952 miles as of its last recorded MOT in March 2023. The MOT history shows a failure in 2023 involving brake discs and suspension components, which were resolved for a pass six days later. It represents a budget-oriented option, though it carries the expected wear of a 16-year-old vehicle.
The Megane has a 71.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failures frequently linked to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
