2008 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · RA57 YDF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 26, 2026, 162,173 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, despite a technical failure just six days prior at 162,142 miles which showed no recorded defects. This specific failure likely indicates an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the passing test. The consistent clean passes over the previous three years suggest that the vehicle is being maintained to basic safety and emission standards. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 162,173 miles represents an average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, aligning with typical national averages for a family hatchback. The data shows consistent use over time, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between the February 2023 and January 2024 tests, and another 7,200 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components. While the MOT history is clean, the age and mileage of this Megane necessitate a physical inspection of common failure points. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills for advanced corrosion, as these areas are prone to rust on this generation. Given the mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or tearing is essential. The buyer should also check the brakes for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only tests for safety and not the remaining life of these consumable components.
