Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a well-used but currently clean example of a 2012 Renault Megane. The recent MOT history shows no current defects, making it a viable option for a budget-conscious buyer.
When viewing this specific 2012 Megane, check the consistency of the service history to supplement the MOT data. Since the vehicle has covered approximately 7,300 miles per year on average, ensure that oil changes and mechanical inspections have been performed at appropriate intervals.
Focus your attention on the electrical components and interior trim, which are common areas of interest for this era of Renault. Given the 1598cc petrol engine, verify that the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine type.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for daily commuting. Fuel economy for this model typically offers a balance between performance and economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Megane of this age are usually predictable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Inspect the vehicle specifically for any signs of previous mechanical issues that might have led to the MOT failure in March 2024. Although the 2024 failure is not detailed in the summary, you should check the current state of the suspension, exhaust, and braking system.
Check for any uneven tyre wear or steering play, and ensure all exterior lights and wipers are functioning correctly, as these are frequent items appearing on MOT advisories for vehicles of this age. Given the mileage of 87,908, pay close attention to the condition of the clutch and gearbox if test-driving.
This white 1.6L petrol Renault Megane has covered 87,908 miles since its first registration in September 2012. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent pass in April 2025 showing no defects. While there was a failure recorded in March 2024 at 81,810 miles, the vehicle has since passed two consecutive tests without further issues.
