2009 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · SH09 AEU

This Renault Megane presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 93,861 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from 2023 and 2024, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,521 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing by 4,853 miles between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,853 miles by September 2025. This linear usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing for long periods, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized brake calipers. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear across multiple years. A single failure on 5 September 2022 at 77,409 miles was resolved within one day, though the record does not specify the fault. The absence of recurring issues indicates a vehicle that has avoided the common structural corrosion and exhaust emissions failures often seen in Meganes of this era. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test may overlook or that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for oil leaks around the engine head gasket and inspect the condition of the rubber suspension mounts. While the records show no structural failures, a manual check of the chassis and wheel arches for surface rust is advised given the vehicle's age.
