2015 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · RY04 ABY

The vehicle is currently out of MOT, as the last recorded test was on 27 March 2024. The maintenance trend shows a decline in the condition of the front-end suspension. While the car passed its most recent test at 91,017 miles, it only did so after failing a day earlier due to a fractured offside front coil spring, excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage pin. The mileage pattern is highly irregular. Between March 2018 and March 2023, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles. However, the record shows a sudden jump of nearly 39,000 miles between the March 2023 test at 52,374 miles and the March 2024 test at 91,017 miles. This rapid increase in usage over a single year likely contributed to the accelerated wear of the suspension components flagged in the 2024 failure. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension and steering geometry. The history reveals a recurring issue with the front axle, starting with oil misting on both front shock absorbers in March 2021 at 48,316 miles and culminating in the major component failures in 2024. Because the 2024 repairs focused on the offside, the nearside components may now be due for replacement given the high mileage accumulation. Check the tyres for uneven wear, as the March 2022 test at 49,896 miles flagged an offside front tyre worn on the edge. This often indicates poor wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle has not been tested in over two years relative to the current date of August 2026, a full mechanical inspection is necessary to identify any deterioration from standing or neglected service intervals.
