2010 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · SH59 OXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT test in March 2026 at 74,890 miles. This recent pass indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the 2025 test flagged multiple defects related to the braking and steering systems, the absence of advisories in the latest record suggests the owner has performed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to a standard. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,890 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with intervals of roughly 3,500 miles between the 2024 and 2026 annual tests. This low annual mileage often reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age, as evidenced by the deterioration of the offside front CV boot noted in March 2025. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension despite the recent pass. The 2024 and 2025 records show recurring issues with thin rear pads and pitted discs, suggesting a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Additionally, the nearside track rod end which showed play in 2025 should be verified to ensure the play has not returned after replacement. Considering the corroded brake pipe reported in 2022, a thorough check of the hydraulic lines for further oxidation is essential to ensure corrosion has not progressed beyond the point of structural failure.
