2014 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · RV64 JBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect passes to reactive maintenance. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 86,173 miles, the car passed despite advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen between 2022 and 2024, where the vehicle presented with no recorded defects. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 56,182 miles and January 2026 at 86,173 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles, suggesting a steady usage pattern. This low annual mileage profile means the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway stress, but it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals despite the low total mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension. The 2025 test flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs, which suggests the previous owner may have neglected routine brake maintenance until an inspection forced action. The uneven wear noted on the rear tyres in early 2026 points toward a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A check of the rear control arms and play in the ball joints is necessary to ensure that the tyre wear is not indicative of more significant mechanical failure.
