2009 Renault Megane 1.5L Diesel · ST09 MXS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. In the final test conducted on 17 October 2022 at 191,276 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects. This followed a curious failure just two days prior at 191,273 miles which also listed no defects, likely indicating a clerical administrative error or a minor non-failure issue that was rectified immediately. Since 2019, the Megane has maintained a consistent passing record without any flagged mechanical failures or structural weaknesses. The mileage pattern reflects consistent usage typical for a vehicle of this age. With 191,276 miles recorded over 17 years, the car has averaged approximately 11,250 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 15,388 miles between October 2019 and October 2020, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 2,000 to 2,600 miles in the years thereafter. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and prevents seal seizing. While the MOT history is clean of recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade significantly after nearly two hundred thousand miles. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the rear sills and floor pans is essential, as the MOT test only identifies rust once it reaches a specific threshold of decay. The brakes should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the high mileage hasn't compromised the stopping performance.
