Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. The vehicle ha
The primary concern is the four-year absence of MOT data. You must establish whether the vehicle has been SORN or if there is a gap in the official records. If the car has not been tested since 2022, it should be assumed that it may require significant work to meet current roadworthiness standards.
Verify if the steering rack inner joints and the offside rear brake hose corrosion flagged in 2022 were ever properly repaired, as these were listed as advisories even after the vehicle passed its test. Request a full service history to see if the 1.4L engine has had regular oil and filter changes, as this is critical for a vehicle of this age.
The 1390cc petrol engine is relatively economical for its era, though it will not match the efficiency of modern equivalents. As a 2007 model, it sits in an older vehicle excise duty (VED) bracket, which may result in higher annual tax than newer small cars.
Insurance groups for the Megane are generally affordable, but maintenance costs for a 19-year-old vehicle can be unpredictable. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items such as suspension components and brake lines.
Prioritise an inspection of the steering rack inner joints and the offside rear brake hose, both of which were identified as issues in the 2022 MOT. Check the exhaust system for leaks or insecurity, as this caused a failure in the last recorded test.
In line with aggregate data for the Megane, specifically check the condition of the headlamps and the front coil springs for cracks or corrosion. Given the age and the 2022 brake pad failure, a full inspection of the braking system is essential.
This grey 2007 Renault Megane 1.4L petrol has a last recorded mileage of 109,392 miles from 2022. The MOT history shows a failure in March 2022 involving the steering rack and exhaust system, with some issues remaining as advisories upon passing. There are no recorded MOT tests for this vehicle between 2022 and September 2026.
The Megane has an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with common failures frequently involving headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
