2001 Renault Megane Scenic 1.6L Petrol · WN51 DDO

The most recent MOT on 24 July 2025 recorded a pass, with only advisory failures for a stone chip in zone B of the windscreen and insufficient washer fluid on the nearside. Earlier in the same test the vehicle was flagged for the same windscreen issue, but no major safety‑critical defects were noted. After a cluster of serious failures in 2021, subsequent tests in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 have all passed, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend. Across a 25‑year span the odometer reads 88 128 mi, equating to just under 4 000 mi per year. The mileage rose from 52 682 mi in September 2014 to 59 058 mi in August 2017, then progressed steadily to 88 128 mi by July 2025, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps. This low utilisation suggests limited cumulative wear on drivetrain and structural components. A prospective buyer should scrutinise the windscreen for any propagation of the existing stone chip and confirm the washer system delivers adequate fluid. The brake system warrants close inspection: verify pad thickness on both axles, check rotor condition, and ensure the brake fluid is free of contamination, given past imbalances and fluid issues. Rear tyre tread and sidewall integrity must be assessed, as 2021 records show several tyres near the legal limit and a cut on the nearside rear. Examine the nearside front lower ball joint for play and look for any rust on the rear subframe, recalling earlier advisories on suspension play and a rusted rear bar. Finally, confirm the nearside front constant‑velocity joint gaiter remains sealed, as a previous failure indicated potential ingress of dirt.
