2016 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · SH16 DXV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive replacement. The most recent test in September 2025 at 81,654 miles passed despite both front tyres being worn near the legal depth limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors an identical advisory from February 2025, just six miles prior, suggesting that the owner only addresses tyre consumables when they reach an imminent MOT failure threshold. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. There is a notable usage gap between March 2024 (73,444 miles) and September 2025 (81,654 miles), where the car covered over 8,000 miles in seventeen months. However, the overall progression from 36,865 miles in 2019 shows low-intensity use, which generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and structural components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on front tyres across 2019, 2025, and 2026 suggests potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The braking system also warrants a closer look; the history shows a binding rear offside caliper in 2021 and pitted front inner brake discs in 2023. These indicators point to uneven wear or potential caliper corrosion, which can lead to premature failure of brake pads and discs if not monitored.
