2011 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · SD61 ADZ

The Renault Megane presented a current roadworthy status after the 27 February 2026 MOT test at 178,549 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the supplied records remains stable, showing no advisory or failure items tied to mechanical condition. The vehicle logged a failure on 26 February 2026 at identical mileage, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, followed by a clean pass one day later. A similar pattern occurred on 27 February 2025 at 164,044 miles, with a fail and pass on the same day, both showing no defects. Prior to that, the 27 February 2024 test at 149,753 miles passed cleanly. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 15-year-old hatchback. The odometer advanced from 149,753 miles in February 2024 to 164,044 miles in February 2025, a 14,291-mile year, then to 178,549 miles by February 2026, a 14,505-mile year. These figures sit slightly above the 11,903-mile annual average yet demonstrate consistent, uneventful covering of distance. The supplied history spans only three test events, offering a sparse but unblemished mechanical record aside from the anomalous fails with empty defect fields. Previous keepers maintained statutory testing discipline, though the repeated no-defect failures hint at possible administrative or undocumented pre-test issues rather than skipped consumable upkeep. A buyer should inspect high-mileage wear items not always captured by a bare MOT pass. Examine suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc tolerances given 178,549 miles of service. Check structural corrosion around sills and subframes despite absence of advisories. The twin same-day fail-pass cycles in February 2025 and February 2026 with no recorded faults require clarification from the test station; emissions equipment or documentation errors may have caused rejection, potentially hiding exhaust or diesel particulate condition.
