2012 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · SJ62 RYO

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, as evidenced by the single MOT failure recorded on 2025-09-24, which occurred at 49,249 miles. This last test result indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition, particularly concerning the suspension and structural integrity of the chassis. The tester flagged multiple critical issues including a bulge in the offside front tyre, a cracked rear passenger seat, and a detached undertray, all of which are indicative of a structural failure rather than simple wear. The maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring faults that suggest the vehicle has not undergone adequate upkeep since the most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year, which is low for an RENAULT MEGANE of 2012. However, this low mileage does not negate the presence of severe structural damage; the vehicle has accumulated over 14 years of driving with a history of passing and failing checks, including a failed MOT in September 2025. The gap between the 2025 and 2024 MOTs is particularly concerning, as the vehicle has experienced two separate MOT failures within just one year, a pattern that suggests the primary risk is a structural compromise of the undercarriage and suspension components. Given the history of repeated failures and the presence of structural defects such as a bulge and cracked seatbelts, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the structural integrity of the chassis. The repeated failures indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced correctly, and the risk of a future crash is high. A buyer should be prepared to spend significant time and money to repair the undertray and seatbelts, and the vehicle is likely to have a structural integrity risk that will not be addressed by simple maintenance.
