2010 Renault Megane Extreme VVT 1.6L Petrol · NIL 6060

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 13 November 2025 at 29,180 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in a car of this age. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,824 miles per year. Between May 2019 and November 2025, the car covered only 4,768 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very short journeys. The gap of 1,021 miles between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests further highlights this trend of infrequent use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces specific risks related to age and lack of fluid movement. Despite the clean electronic record, a buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage storage. The inspector should specifically check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses which frequently occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the low mileage, the condition of the timing belt and the state of the fluids are critical, as these components can age out before they reach their mileage-based service intervals.
