2015 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · RE15 NWY

The 2015 Renault Mégane exhibits a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-17 at 140,564 miles recording a pass without defects. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-24 at 140,561 miles failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting potential technical or procedural anomalies during testing. Earlier records show a pattern of alternating passes and fails without recorded issues, indicating inconsistent compliance rather than escalating mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable overall, but the lack of defect details limits definitive conclusions about underlying faults. The mileage of 140,564 miles, accumulated over 11 years, equates to approximately 12,779 miles annually—a high rate for this age. Notable gaps include a 16,223-mile jump between the 2022-12-01 test (120,037 miles) and the 2023-12-07 test (136,260 miles), followed by a slower 4,301-mile increase over 22 months to 2025. This suggests periods of heavy use interspersed with reduced activity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The sparse defect data complicates assessment of long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system merits scrutiny for uneven disc wear or corrosion, particularly if the 2025-09-24 failure was related to braking performance. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are critical for safety and compliance. While no major faults are documented, the erratic MOT outcomes and high annual mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
