2002 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · RO52 AFZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-12-19 assessment at 92,186 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 showed similar pass results, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, though its low mileage of 92,186 over 24 years raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows steady annual increases, with 87,585 miles recorded in 2021 and 92,186 miles in 2025. This equates to an average of 3,841 miles per year, significantly below the typical 7,000–8,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. While this could reflect light use, it also implies potential periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. The MOT history lacks gaps, confirming regular testing but offering no insight into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the underbody and wheel arches, given the car’s age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, warrant scrutiny for wear, as these often degrade over time. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical for emissions compliance. Despite the clean MOT record, these areas are prone to hidden issues that may not trigger immediate failures but could impact long-term reliability.
