2011 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · SA11 AEC

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-08 MOT at 74,174 miles. The prior tests from 2023 and 2022 also showed no issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the 2022-11-08 failure at 62,744 miles—despite no defects noted—introduces an anomaly. This may reflect procedural errors or minor non-compliances, but the absence of follow-up issues in subsequent tests implies the problem was resolved. Overall, the trend shows no worsening mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 74,174 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 4,945 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Notably, the 2022-11-09 MOT at 60,156 miles followed a 2022-11-08 failure at 62,744 miles, suggesting a possible data entry error or overlapping test dates. The sparse history lacks detailed fault records, limiting deeper analysis of wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related stiffness. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was stored. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but the low mileage and inconsistent MOT dates warrant scrutiny of rust-prone areas like underbody panels. No major advisories are noted, but the absence of detailed defect data means physical inspection remains critical.
