Our Verdict
Proceed with caution; while the Megane is a practical diesel choice, the recent MOT history shows a pattern of suspension and brake maintenance issues that require close inspection.
Your primary focus should be verifying that the extensive repairs following the June 2026 failure were actually carried out. This included multiple front ball joints, suspension arms, shock absorbers, and brake components. You should ensure these were replaced with high-quality parts rather than 'quick fixes'. Ask for a full service history to ensure the 1.5L dCi engine has had regular oil changes, as these are vital for the longevity of the turbocharger.
During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces, which would indicate that the previously worn ball joints or suspension arms have not been properly addressed. Also, check the rear brakes for any pulling or uneven wear, as the vehicle had a history of worn discs and corroded brake pipes in 2025.
The 1.6cc diesel engine is generally efficient for long-distance commuting, likely achieving 55-60 mpg depending on driving style. Tax for this era is typically moderate, and it usually sits in a mid-range insurance group, depending on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs are standard for a French hatchback, but the recent history of shock absorber and suspension failures suggests you should budget for future component replacements. Estimated annual costs including fuel, tax, and maintenance are around £1,200-£1,500.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with 'excessively worn' ball joints and worn suspension arms across 2025 and 2026. Inspect the rubber boots on the arms for cracking or tearing, which often leads to these failures.
Examine the braking system thoroughly. The June 2025 failure noted a corroded rear brake pipe and flexible hose; check for any signs of fluid leaks or continued corrosion along the brake lines leading to the rear wheels. Additionally, the windscreen has a recurring chip in the swept area; ensure this has been replaced to avoid a potential failure in the next MOT.
This 2015 Renault Megane is currently at approximately 91,000 miles, which is typical for an eleven-year-old diesel. While it had a clean MOT in 2024, it has suffered from multiple failures in the last two years, particularly relating to the front suspension components and braking system. The most recent history suggests a car that has recently undergone significant repair or potentially neglect regarding wear and tear items.
The 1.5 dCi Megane is generally known for being a robust engine but is sensitive to suspension wear and requires timely maintenance.
