2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · NV62 CZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 77,082 miles. However, the history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The car failed just three days prior to that pass due to multiple defects across different mechanical systems, including a worn anti-roll bar linkage, pitted front brake discs, and an illegal tyre. While the subsequent pass indicates these specific issues were rectified, the recurring nature of the faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical failures when they result in a test failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,082 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. This low usage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear from distance. There is a significant gap in records between December 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered only 806 miles in over fourteen months. Such long periods of standing frequently contribute to the brake binding and surface corrosion noted in the 2023 and early 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record shows persistent issues with these areas. The tester flagged a fractured nearside coil spring in 2023 and a worn anti-roll bar linkage in late 2025, which suggests the front suspension is reaching the end of its life. The repeated mention of pitted and scored brake discs across multiple years indicates that the vehicle sits long enough for moisture to cause surface rust. Check the offside rear tyre for alignment issues, as it was consistently flagged for uneven wear across three consecutive tests.
