2010 Renault Megane Dynamique Ttom DCI 1.5L Diesel · SC10 SJU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 82,138 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car regularly meets testing standards despite minor setbacks in previous years. The failures in August 2024 and August 2025 were followed by passes within days, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate defects to rectify compliance issues rather than allowing them to persist. The recorded mileage is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,134 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between tests, such as the 12,178 miles covered between May 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,643 miles between July 2024 and August 2025. While low annual mileage reduces engine wear, the long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, or cause surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of frequent use. A physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than just mileage. The buyer must examine the condition of the suspension geometry and rubber seals for cracking, as these often perish on low-use Renault models. Given the low usage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished brake hoses that occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Verifying the structural integrity of the sills and subframe is vital to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis during its years of exposure to the elements.
