2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · NV62 CZN

The 2012 Renault Megane holds a valid MOT pass certificate dated 24 July 2025 at 138,689 miles, so the record is just under twelve months old and broadly current. The maintenance trend is mixed rather than clearly improving. The vehicle passed cleanly in July 2023 at 114,952 miles, then failed in July 2024 at 126,287 miles for a split offside front CV joint boot and a failed rear fog lamp. In July 2025 it failed again, this time for a nearside front tyre with exposed cords, perished rear tyres, and binding rear service brakes, before passing on the same day at 138,689 miles after repairs. The pattern shows recurring attention to tyres and brakes, plus a repeated CV boot issue, suggesting consumable wear is being addressed but not always proactively. The car has covered roughly 9,906 miles per year since new, which is typical for a 2012 vehicle. Mileage progression is steady: from 114,952 miles in July 2023 to 126,287 miles in July 2024, an increase of 11,335 miles in twelve months, then to 138,689 miles by July 2025, a further 12,402 miles. There are no obvious gaps or sudden jumps in the record, and the annual test dates line up with consistent use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the rear brakes and tyre condition. Both rear service brakes were flagged as binding in the July 2025 test, and the rear tyres were worn and perished, indicating the rear braking system and wheel alignment or suspension bushes deserve close scrutiny for uneven wear. The offside front CV joint boot has appeared as a defect in two consecutive years, so the joint itself should be checked for play or knocking, and the inner driveshaft area inspected for grease contamination or structural corrosion. Given the mileage and age, a thorough underbody check around suspension mounting points, subframes, and exhaust mounting brackets is advisable to rule out corrosion or fatigue that the MOT may not yet have captured.
