2012 Renault Megane 1.6L Petrol · SJ62 RYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the 14 May 2026 MOT at 62,834 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating an improving trend after the single failure recorded in May 2024. The most recent test confirms that the previously flagged suspension and tyre issues have been rectified, and no new advisories have emerged. Mileage has risen from 49,876 miles in May 2023 to 62,834 miles in May 2026, an average increase of roughly 4,300 miles per year. This low annual mileage for a fourteen‑year‑old Renault Megane suggests light usage rather than prolonged storage, and the incremental pattern shows no sudden spikes that would hint at accelerated wear. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear tyre tread, confirming that the tread depth exceeds the 1.0 mm minimum across the whole tyre surface. The near‑side track‑rod end ball joint and off‑side front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint, which were noted as excessively worn in the 16 May 2024 failure, merit inspection for play or corrosion; any lingering looseness could indicate broader suspension bush wear. While the MOT record shows no brake or structural faults, a visual check for rust on the chassis and a functional test of the steering feel will verify that no hidden deterioration has developed since the last pass. Finally, verify the condition of consumables such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads, as these items are not captured by the MOT unless they breach legal limits. Ensuring that these components are within serviceable wear will complement the already satisfactory MOT history.
