Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle due to repeated brake, suspension, and tyre failures. While mileage is low for its age, the MOT history indicates significant underlying issues that could lead to costly repairs.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection of the rear brake system, suspension components, and tyre condition. Negotiate a lower price given the 2024 MOT failures and recurring issues. Verify service history for documented repairs to brakes, shocks, and tyres. Be cautious of the service light remaining on, which may indicate unresolved diagnostic trouble codes. Avoid purchasing without a pre-purchase survey from a trusted independent mechanic.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.461cc engine is likely average for a 2015 model, with urban driving around 35-40 mpg. Tax for diesel vehicles in 2026 would be £155 annually (standard rate). Insurance group is unspecified but likely mid-range for a 2015 family hatchback. Maintenance costs could exceed average due to brake and suspension repairs, with estimated annual running costs of £1,200-£1,500 including parts, labour, and tyre replacements.
Inspect rear brake discs for corrosion, scoring, and thickness. Check shock absorbers for leaks, wear, or reduced damping. Examine all tyres for cracks, splits, and tread depth, particularly the nearside rear tyre with a history of structural failure. Test stop lamps and windscreen wipers for functionality. Look for signs of brake fluid leaks or uneven brake pad wear. Verify that the service light has been reset following repairs.
This 2015 Renault Megane has a mixed MOT history with critical brake and suspension failures in 2024, including corroded rear discs, worn shock absorbers, and uneven brake application. Tyre issues were recorded in 2023 and 2024, with multiple tears and perished tyres. Although recent MOTs passed, the vehicle's age and recurring mechanical problems raise concerns about long-term reliability.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Renault Megane model to assess broader reliability trends.
