2021 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · PY21 OVN

The 2021 Renault Mégane is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-09 at 61,059 miles recording no defects. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive MOT failures in 2024—on 2024-07-08 and 2024-05-24—both at mileages below 45,000 miles, with no defects listed. While the latest test indicates stability, the prior failures suggest potential unresolved issues that may have been rectified but remain unrecorded. The absence of defects in the most recent test implies the car is in acceptable condition, but the earlier failures warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 61,059 miles over five years equates to an average of 12,212 miles annually, which is higher than typical for its age. Notably, the car accumulated 17,116 miles between the 2024-07-12 MOT (44,678 miles) and the 2025-09-09 test (61,059 miles), a rapid increase that could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The sparse MOT history between 2024-07-12 and 2025-09-09, with no recorded defects, suggests either consistent maintenance or limited testing frequency. This pattern may mask underlying issues requiring closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these parts. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, merits attention due to the prior failures, even without recorded defects. Corrosion on underbody components and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as rapid mileage can stress these areas. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s usage history and prior failures justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
