2010 Renault Megane 1.9L Diesel · TB02 AMB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 163,889 miles passed, it flagged an inoperative nearside plate lamp and a corroded offside rear coil spring. This follows a significant failure in November 2023 where the car presented with numerous defects, including excessive exhaust emissions and multiple lighting failures, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they threaten the MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 155,194 miles and March 2026 at 163,889 miles, the car covered roughly 8,700 miles, indicating steady use. However, the high cumulative mileage places significant strain on rubber components and braking hardware, which is reflected in the recurring advisories regarding perishing tyres and corroded brake discs across the last four years of recorded records. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension and steering components, as the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has been flagged for play and wear across 2023 and 2024. The offside rear wheel bearing was noted as noisy in 2024 and requires physical inspection to determine if the condition has progressed. Additionally, the history of pitted and scored brake discs, combined with a previously binding rear brake in late 2023, indicates the braking system is nearing the end of its effective life and may require a full overhaul of discs and pads to ensure reliable stopping.
