Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. This v
When viewing this Megane, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components. The MOT records show a persistent history of issues with anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends. Ensure that any recent repairs to these parts are documented with receipts to verify they have been addressed correctly.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance requirements suggested by the most recent MOT, such as the worn front tyres. You should also ask for evidence of recent brake servicing, as the history shows a recurring advisory for a binding nearside rear service brake. A full service history check is essential to see if the high mileage has been matched by regular maintenance.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Megane is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on its maintenance state. Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 1.5 dCi model are typically moderate, making it an affordable option for high-mileage users in terms of daily running costs.
However, be prepared for higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the frequency of suspension and braking component replacements seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Focus heavily on the front suspension and steering. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of 'slight play' in the anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends across multiple years. Check for any knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate that these components require attention again.
Secondly, inspect the braking system thoroughly. The records indicate a recurring issue with a binding nearside rear service brake and a previously damaged offside front brake hose. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads, and ensure there is no uneven wear. Finally, check the tyre tread depth and condition, as the 2025 MOT noted front tyres worn close to the legal limit.
This 2010 blue Renault Megane 1.5 dCi has covered 145,663 miles as of late 2025, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,669 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a high frequency of advisories and failures, particularly concerning suspension components and braking systems. While it has passed its most recent test, the history of multiple recurring issues necessitates a careful approach.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and brake pipes.
