2010 Renault Megane 1.4L Petrol · SL60 AEB

The MOT record for this 2010 Renault Megane presents a clean and stable maintenance history. The most recent test in September 2022 at 136,211 miles passed without any defects, continuing a pattern of clear advisories-free results dating back to August 2019. This suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements, with no emerging or recurring mechanical faults flagged over the last three annual inspections. The single failure in August 2019 at 119,418 miles appears to have been a minor issue rectified on the same day, as the subsequent pass recorded no defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age. At 16 years old and 136,211 miles, the annual average is roughly 8,500 miles, but the recorded data shows a lower average of about 5,600 miles per year between August 2019 and September 2022. This slower accumulation may indicate lighter use or periods of standing, but the steady annual increments suggest no prolonged storage. The mileage is plausible and aligns with the vehicle's age, though the recent lower annual figure warrants a check for any signs of infrequent use, such as brake disc corrosion or tyre perishing. Given the absence of any recorded defects or advisories, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection, focusing on components that typically degrade with age and high mileage. Check the suspension for worn bushes or dampers, as these are common on a 16-year-old car. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion. Structural integrity is critical; look for rust on sills, wheel arches, and subframes. The clean MOT history is a positive sign, but a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic is advisable to verify the condition of these high-wear items.
