2010 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · RF10 MLJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on June 5, 2025 at 149,845 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates that following a failure in May 2022, the owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to meet minimum roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures surfacing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,365 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 6,343 miles, showing a steady but moderate usage pattern. The interval of 786 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which often helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing, such as brake seizing or rubber component degradation. Despite the clean history of recent MOT tests, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of common Renault Megane failure points for this age. At nearly 150,000 miles, the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs are likely nearing the end of their service life regardless of the lack of advisories. Pay close attention to structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MOT only identifies significant structural rot once it reaches a point of failure. Testing the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also essential to ensure the recent clean passes reflect genuine mechanical health rather than just a lack of immediate defects.
