Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel Megane, focus on the tyre condition and suspension, as the 2024 MOT highlighted a worn offside rear tyre. Ensure that all four tyres have adequate tread depth and are not wearing unevenly on the edges, which could indicate alignment issues.
Given the mileage is over 100,000, you should request evidence of any significant maintenance, such as timing belt replacements, which are common requirements for this engine type. While the MOT history does not show failures for headlamps, coil springs, or brake pipes—common issues for this model—you should manually check these components during a test drive.
As a 1461cc diesel, this Megane is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a lower insurance group and offering decent fuel economy for long-distance driving. Tax bands for this era of Megane vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so verify the exact rate via the DVLA.
Typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage will include regular servicing and potential wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension components. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, largely driven by fuel consumption and routine maintenance.
Based on the 2024 MOT record, pay close attention to the rear tyres; uneven wear can suggest issues with the rear axle or suspension geometry. Although no failures were recorded for headlamps or brake pipes in this vehicle's history, these are noted as common failure points for the Megane model aggregate and should be tested thoroughly.
Check the coil springs for any signs of corrosion or breakage, as this is a frequent reason for MOT failures in this model range. Additionally, with the mileage exceeding 100,000, listen for any unusual noises from the engine or suspension when driving over bumps to ensure the mechanical integrity matches the clean MOT results.
This 2012 silver Renault Megane has covered 109,430 miles since its first registration in November 2012. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with only one recorded defect in 2024 involving a worn offside rear tyre. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate across its recent history, though its mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,674 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 71.8%, with common failures related to headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
