2016 Renault Megane 1.6L Diesel · N24 LAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address developing suspension issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 103,333 miles resulted in a failure due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the recurring nature of the front suspension arm wear across 2024 and 2025 suggests the owner only reacts to faults rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 90,626 miles and June 2024 at 96,713 miles, the car covered 6,087 miles, followed by another 6,620 miles in the subsequent year. This steady accumulation of mileage indicates regular use, which explains the standard wear and tear on rubber components and metal components typical for a Megane of this generation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the offside arm arm has been properly replaced and not merely adjusted. The previous failure regarding tyres worn to the legal limit in 2023 suggests a history of neglecting basic consumables, so current tyres should be checked for uneven wear patterns. Inspect the rear coil springs for signs of corrosion or further fatigue, as the fractured spring noted in 2025 indicates the suspension components may be under significant stress or nearing the end of their functional life.
