2014 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · SD14 FSX

The current roadworthiness status of this Renault Megane appears stable and highly favourable, supported by a clean pass in January 2026. While the vehicle recorded a failure on the same day as its most recent pass, the absence of specific defect codes suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor, immediately rectified issue rather than a mechanical failure. The history shows a consistent trend of compliance, with no recurring advisories or major component failures noted over the last four years of testing. The vehicle has covered 81,274 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,773 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic driving and indicates the car has seen regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway accumulation. The steady accumulation of mileage suggests the drivetrain has been kept in motion, which often helps prevent the seized components and perished seals frequently associated with long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. MOT tests do not cover the internal condition of the engine or the longevity of the clutch and gearbox, so listen for any unusual transmission whine or clutch slip during a test drive. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on this platform that may not always trigger an immediate failure. Verify that all electronic features, including the air conditioning and infotainment systems, operate as intended, as these are not assessed during the statutory test.
