2010 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · SL60 LLE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded a pass with minor issues, including play in the steering rack inner joint and a slightly distorted nearside rear road wheel. However, a concurrent failed test on the same date highlighted unresolved concerns, such as non-functioning stop and position lamps, corroded brake pipes, and worn steering components. The recurring presence of corrosion on brake pipes and coil springs, alongside persistent steering play, indicates an ongoing maintenance challenge. While the latest test suggests some improvements, the pattern of issues implies a lack of consistent mechanical care, with no clear resolution of structural or functional risks. The mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~9,500 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. The MOT records from 2024-06-05 to 2026-05-22 reveal a consistent interval of approximately 12 months between tests, with no significant gaps. However, the 2025-06-04 tests recorded multiple failures, including corroded brake pipes, worn tyres, and a severely worn track rod end, suggesting potential neglect or unresolved repairs. The 2026 test’s pass status may reflect targeted fixes, but the persistence of corrosion and steering issues raises questions about long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly the front coil springs and steering rack for further corrosion or wear. The recurring brake pipe corrosion warrants a thorough underbody check for rust progression, which could compromise brake integrity. Additionally, the history of distorted wheels and steering play highlights the need for a test drive to assess handling and alignment. Tyre condition should also be verified, as past wear near legal limits indicates potential safety risks. Structural rust and brake system integrity are critical areas requiring professional evaluation before purchase.
