2012 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · SA62 OCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in October 2025 at 71,923 miles passed with several advisories regarding brake components and an offside front anti-roll bar linkage. This anti-roll bar linkage was previously flagged as having slight play during the 2023 test at 51,026 miles, suggesting that the owner has allowed mechanical wear to persist until it reached a point of concern. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,923 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 11,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2025. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, which is evidenced by the failure of the nearside front drive shaft boot in 2022 and the fractured coil spring in 2024 despite the low overall odometer. A buyer must focus specifically on the braking system and front suspension. The record shows a persistent issue with surface pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs dating back to at least 2024. This often occurs when low-mileage vehicles sit for extended periods, allowing corrosion to form on the metal surfaces. The offside front anti-roll bar linkage has remained an advisory for two years, which requires a physical inspection to ensure the play has not worsened into a dangerous failure. Check the drive shaft boots for tearing or grease leakage, as the history shows a pattern of deterioration in this area.
